But perhaps it was always unlikely that one could bomb Milosevic into negotiating an acceptable political solution for Kosovo. Now it looks out of the question. The down-the-middle construct of Rambouillet that retained Serbian sovereignty over the province but gave self-rule to the ethnic Albanians for three years seems dead.

In addition to the departures of Mizrahi and Oldham, designers Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors were now splitting their time between their own collections and those of the French houses Louis...
...rather have my breast than the money," says Motichka. She hopes, though, that her case will encourage other women to question their doctors. She claims that "if screening methods, education and prevention techniques were fully put in play, there would be no reason for women to have their breasts removed, period...
