...settle for a two-seater the size of a golf cart that takes 17 sec. to go from zero to 60 m.p.h. (about twice as long as the typical car sold in the U.S.). Hence Detroit's preoccupation with fuel cells, which could ultimately clean up even the most monstrous...

Milosevic has dropped hints that he might stage a grand scene by calling a parade of Western leaders to testify, starting with former President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
