Certainly his Kosovo strategy has been confounding. In part, says a U.S. official, Milosevic seems closed off to reality. When negotiating, he relies on a mix of charm and tirades about the victimization of the Serbs. Says the official: "Every second sentence is wrong or a lie. He pours out his soul, but you don't know if he believes all that rubbish." He never says yes or no, never puts his own name to a formal agreement. While his vicious behavior in Kosovo has evoked comparison to Hitler, those who know him say Milosevic doesn't dream so large...

The area houses an eclectic mix of restaurants of every nationality and price range: from Schwartz's smoked meat, to 24-hour fresh St. Viateur bagels, and to Monde-Aux-Frites traditional Quebecois Poutine (french fries with melted cheese and gravy...
...want to design something unique, several sites let you mix and match images, music, text and background designs. At postcards.org I got some animated hamsters to dance to an Irish jig, then sent my masterpiece to an animal lover. A similar site, 123greetings.com offers a nice feature that allows you to order a card today for delivery, say, next Thursday. At the much smaller Micro-Images site microimg.com/postcards/) I placed a World War II plane on a dark blue background, added a military marching song and e-mailed it to my brother. He loved it! It was so simple...
