When U.N. military officers reached the mountain village of Stupni Do, in central Bosnia, they found the bodies of more than 25 Muslims burned, machine- gunned and slashed by Croats.

...Leni Riefenstahl walked up to Luis Trenker, star of German mountain movies, and said, "I'm going to be in your next picture." She was a dancer, not an actress -- and not a mountain climber, as the amused star pointed out. "I can do it if I make up my mind to," she asserted.

Just two years after he was nearly buried beneath a mountain of debt, Murdoch, 62, is expanding his global empire more rapidly and restlessly than ever before. For starters, he paid $525 million in July for 63.6% of Hong Kong-based star tv and its potential to reach 3 billion viewers from Tokyo to Tel Aviv. This month Murdoch upgraded his 50%-owned British Sky Broadcasting (BSkyB) from six channels to 14, and agreed to acquire Delphi Internet Service...
