...police checkpoint, and Macedonian artillery fire injured 10 civilians in the hills above Tetovo. Rebel leaders observed an overnight cease-fire but later injured two policemen in separate mortar and grenade attacks near the villages of Gracane and Caska. The U.S. said it would send spy planes to monitor rebel activities but would not commit additional troops to the Balkans...
...high. Yellow paint peels from the walls. There is no running water. The bed is a dirty mattress on a steel frame. But enthroned on a makeshift table sits a workstation worthy of a cash-rich start-up. The man leans toward his crisp, new 19-inch monitor and gets down to business. He surfs to the archive of an online florist and peruses someone's recent order for roses, complete with a mushy love letter.

The crew has been joined by a couple of hangers-on, though there were about 100 more who wanted to hang, and everyone sits round the monitor liking what they see. Cigarettes are lit, but nobody's puffing. Cans are open, nobody's drinking. The whole scene takes three minutes but it plays like slow motion. "Cut," cries the director. The girls rush from the bed to the monitor to see the playback, which they view tensely...
