...avaricious aristocrat, the Indian conservators over the white predators, the female spirit of conciliation over the male itch to resolve every dispute by going to war. Boldly eco-liberal, Pocahontas even pokes fun at the Disney Co.'s recent attempt to buy Virginia land and build a historical theme park, Disney's America, not far from Jamestown. "With all ya got in ya, boys,/ Dig up Virginia, boys!" sings Ratcliffe, as his toadying manservant sculpts exotic animal topiary of the sort found at every Disney park...

"The Serbs always shoot at us," says Colonel Alain Ferrand, commander of the 100 French soldiers who protect the Sarajevo airport, five miles from Grouzelle's barracks. "Every time we go to the runway or other exposed places, we get a few bullets. Usually they hit the ground 1 or 2 m [3 or 6 ft.] in front of us. And they love to shoot at night. God knows why." Ferrand says the morale...
