...bloodshed and suffering in the former Yugoslavia are providing the United Nations with a definitive test that will determine what role the body will play in the emerging post-Cold War word. Time, however, is running out. The world is now witnessing the takeover of an independent nation and the murder and displacement of much of its population. If the U.N. allows this to continue, then by its own inaction, it will have relegated itself to the role of a glorified bystander, unable even to defend the sovereignty of one of its member states...
Today, the U.N is simply acting with cowardice. The fall of the Soviet bloc has freed the United Nations from the restrictions of the Cold War and has offered it the chance to be a major force in shaping the post-Cold War world. So far, the offer has been politely declined...

...hotheaded baseball manager who loses his job with the Seattle Mariners and winds up coaching a squad of inept Russians. But THE COMRADES OF SUMMER is more than just a Slavic Bad News Bears. Shot in the former Soviet Union, the HBO film nicely mixes savvy baseball comedy with post-cold war satire: Sparky has to scrounge for equipment on the black market, holds practices in a cavernous warehouse and listens sadly to Voice of America broadcasts as his Mariners head for the World Series. (It's a fantasy.) Mantegna is delightfully dour, and the film knows its capabilities...
