...says many of the colonels and junior officers who convoyed out of Kosovo are grumbling, "Why did we do this?"--particularly after they saw the destruction back home. There's no guarantee, of course, that a military coup would produce a more liberal government. Once tanks roll in Belgrade, power could fall into the hands of even more nationalist, anti-NATO hard-liners...
...leisure at an all-time low. In the Glennon household in Lake Forest, Ill., parents John and Kathy and their three younger daughters have re-arranged family life around the hockey schedule of son Nick, 10. One week's lineup: Sunday: practice from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Monday: power skating from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday: game night. Friday: a fund-raising dinner dance for the team. Sunday: another game. And several days a week, Nick joins a group of kids who take an hour of private instruction from the former speed coach of the Chicago Blackhawks...

With 59 countries participating and more than 100 artists on view through Nov. 7, there is, as ever, notable work amid a great deal of minor junk. At the opening, Hamilton's minimalist installation--four rooms that appear empty but for a shower...
...Dowell. "It doesn?t belong to Madeleine Albright. The U.S. wants to make Milosevic pay for what he did, but there?s a point when they have to consider Serbia?s welfare ahead of the political pain they?d feel from letting him retire unpunished." Would Milosevic, addicted to power, ever take the back way out? "He?d be tempted," says Dowell. "And a standing offer would make those close to him wonder how long he?d be around. They?d have to think about cutting their own deals." Right now, with Milosevic?s back (hopefully) against the wall...
