IVAN NIKOLIC, 30, a former Yugoslav soldier, to eight years in prison for war crimes during the Kosovo war, in the first trial of its kind held in Serbia since President Slobodan Milosevic's ouster; in Prokuplje, Serbia.

The SEC also looked at the company's books just as scandals at other telecoms--Global Crossing and Qwest--were spooking investors.

Under transparency laws passed after Suharto's ouster, the couple made an obligatory declaration of their assets, which totaled some $6 million...

The nation's business establishment - led by the doyen of French industry, Claude Bébéar - lobbied for his ouster. That behind-the-scenes intrigue reportedly got decisive support from Chirac advisers like Jérôme Monod - a former official at Vivendi's French rival Suez. Their view that Messier would bankrupt his corporate creation - discrediting the entire Paris Bourse in the process - was pressed upon Chirac allies...
