Booby-trapping ruins. This was the nature of the Serbian killing machine, where one violent pass was not enough, where bodies could be found with 150 bullets in them. The cleansing of rich, urban centers like Pec was intended to rid the province permanently of large numbers of Kosovars and to destroy the Albanian intellectual and political culture.

Here's where that "how" I promised comes in. The only way women will ever get rid of the door-slamming is to break down the doors, and not just as a quicker way to get inside. There is no excuse for having no other outlet, for resorting to the old system because it's all you can find.
