...Balkans, but also to usher in an unpredictable and dangerous new period in international relations. "This whole thing hasn?t been well thought through," says TIME U.N. correspondent William Dowell. "We?ve been abysmally wrong on a number of questions. The European NATO members in particular believe that Washington led them into a war without a clear plan, and the result is that they?re more likely now to try and go it alone on security questions...
Latin music has always had its share of great pop artists (Julio Iglesias led the way for the Ricky Martins of today), but only now are U.S. Latinos beginning to show their vast purchasing power and clout in music and other markets.

The opposition the Liberal government put up looks incomprehensible today, and it provoked, among all classes and conditions of women, furious and passionate protests. The response of the police, the courts and sometimes the crowds of suffragist opponents still makes shocking reading. Women were battered in demonstrations and, on hunger strikes, brutally force-fed in prison. When these measures risked taking lives, the infamous Cat & Mouse Act was passed so that a dangerously...
