Similar challenges face developers in Bosnia and Serbia, where all that remains of the Belgrade course opened by Prince Paul Karadjordjevic in 1936--and bombed a few years later--is a restaurant named Golf. A new course in Belgrade opened in 2003 and has since seen its membership quadruple. The game is part of a new experience, a new Serbia, in which bunkers are sand traps, not places to hide. "Another three or four years, and I'll go pro," local champ Ognjen Radovic, 14, said nonchalantly, as if planning for one's future was never a luxury in Serbia...

Through political, economic, and institutional progress, membership to the Union has brought benefits to many countries far beyond the original founders.

"It's about investment in new products and its about economic issues that affect our membership," said UAW President Ron Gettelfinger at a press conference at union headquarters in Detroit. Gettelfinger said talks would resume immediately, but after nearly 10 days of intense negotiations he did not sound optimistic about the prospects for a quick settlement. "It was going to be General Motors' way at the expense of the workers," Gettelfinger said. "The company walked right up to the deadline like they really didn't care." He added, "You can only be pushed...
