Last week the sidewalk in front of Puzic's apartment building at Ise Jovanovic 21 was still stained brown with the dried blood of a neighbor mortally wounded by a sniper in broad daylight two days earlier. Shrapnel burst through the bedroom window of Puzic's 12-year-old son Damir and ripped the carpet. On the ground floor, Sandra Makcic's bedroom was gutted by a shell a month ago, minutes after she left it. Said Ramisa Trtak, 70, who moved into the building after her house in an outlying quarter was obliterated: "During the World War they aimed...
...thought that self-determination might be the wave of the future makes leaders of the established powers shudder. To them, it threatens instability on a horrendous scale.

The other sample was spongy loam abundant with worms, and the water disappeared on its surface and in a few seconds ran out the bottom...
...high court reached across American borders last week and tweaked a neighbor's nose. In a 6-to-3 opinion, Chief Justice William Rehnquist wrote that a "forcible abduction" from a foreign country -- in this case, Mexico -- does not prohibit a defendant's trial in the U.S. "for violation of this country's criminal laws...
