...love freedom may also exercise their rights of free speech. All the hatred and calumny in the world cannot obscure the achievement of the state of Israel. The more others try to smear the citizens and aspirations of the Jewish state, the more its admirers are bound to proclaim its accomplishments. Israel has withstood thousands of terrorist attacks in the last two years—a situation Americans can hardly imagine—yet it sustains a democratic culture under conditions of siege that would long since have crushed and demoralized any lesser society...

The best hope designers have...
...trial wraps up two years from now. Prosecutors are building a strong legal case against him. Milosevic may be holding his own in the eyes of many Serbs, but it will be U.N. judges, not opinion polls, that decide his fate. Until then, Milosevic will continue to primp and proclaim on TV sets across Serbia. "He looks like he would do it all again," says Kandic, shaking her head. In fact, he probably would...
