Slap this guy down or look like wussies. Those are NATO's options as its commanders issue an urgent warning to President Slobodan Milosevic in Belgrade on Tuesday. The Serb leader has already made clear his contempt for NATO's threats by expelling the U.S. head of an observer mission following last week's massacre of 45 ethnic Albanians. "Europe is outraged, and the climate for military action is a lot stronger than it was over Iraq," says TIME U.N. correspondent William Dowell. "And unlike Iraq, where there was no clear target, the Serb armor and artillery in Kosovo...
...ground zero for the apocalypse. The city is the center of biblical prophecy and esoteric lore, with the Mount of Olives and the Temple Mount, the site of Solomon's Temple, as possible touchdown sites for the Lord. That is almost certainly why the followers of Colorado cult leader Monte Kim Miller were in Israel--and why Israel, increasingly wary as the millennium approaches, ordered the expulsion of as many of them as it could find last week. Miller, who had disappeared with more than 80 of his Denver-based Concerned Christians last September, has cast himself...
...authorities have their eyes not only on Miller and his cult but on another U.S. group consisting of about a dozen people living in monasteries in the mountains around Jerusalem, mostly in the West Bank.

The current obsession with throwbacks traces to the early 1990s with Dodge trucks, but the movement got a power boost from Viper and Prowler roadsters. Then came the wildly popular "new" Volkswagen Beetle. Last week the floodgates opened, as automakers unveiled models like a revived Chevy Impala, a new Dodge Charger and even a Nissan Z concept, modeled after the sporty Datsun 240Z of the 1970s...
...rough year for Vladimir Zhirinovsky, madcap leader of Russia's ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party. Last month his colleagues banned him from the Duma floor after he called for the communists "to be shot." But things may be picking up with the publication of his latest book, The ABCs of Sex. At a publicity event for the 222-page tome, the self-proclaimed "sexual knight of all the girls of Russia" proposed a new domestic sex industry as the panacea for the country's economic ills...
