Thanks to these large projects, the entire center of the capital of Zagreb was reconstructed. Privatization proved to be a more difficult obstacle, and many believe it was conducted in an unfair manner, giving preference to his party associates. However, the economy did not fall into depression, and Tudjman was able to introduce a stable currency, the kuna, avoiding the rampant inflation of the old Yugoslav dinar...

That's right - in roughly 60 days, there will be a new label to inspect at your local market: The "radura" symbol will adorn meat that's been zapped by gamma rays - much in the manner of microwave ovens, without actually cooking the meat. The process, scientists say, wipes out E. coli and other, potentially life-threatening bacteria. While the Food and Drug Administration approved irradiation for meat back in 1997, the meat industry still faces its toughest critics: the American public...
