...first Telescript machines will start to arrive next year. If the technology catches on, the lines between home and office, already badly blurred, could begin to disappear. How will employees feel when their boss, tracking them down to some beachside resort, starts issuing orders and leaving angry messages on their computer? "Telescript is like an incredibly powerful computer virus," says Denise Caruso, editor of a newsletter called Digital Media.

CROATS LIVING IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA HAD accepted it willingly. So had Muslims, though with reservations. What was needed for the nine-point plan to offer even a slim chance of peace to a country wracked by war was approval by Bosnian Serbs. That happened Wednesday at the ski resort of Pale, 10 miles east of the besieged capital of Sarajevo, where a parliament representing Bosnia's Serbs approved the plan by a comfortable margin.

Eight years later, their mother Gilda confessed...
While most of the effort has been directed at helping women survive, and escape, abusive homes, much of the publicity has fallen on those rare cases when women resort to violence themselves. Researcher and author Angela Browne points out that a woman is much more likely to be killed by her partner than to kill him. In 1991, when some 4 million women were beaten and 1,320 murdered in domestic attacks, 622 women killed their husbands or boyfriends. Yet the women have become the lightning rods for debate, since their circumstances, and their response, were most extreme...
