...Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley, all 14, and Denise McNair, 11, were killed in a bomb explosion on the morning of Sept. 15, 1963, an act that horrified the nation and helped lead to passage of a landmark civil rights bill...
...divorce rates; for them, it offered more than campy, sexy entertainment. It was also a wholehearted, even corny, testament to making imperfect relationships work, despite slights, misunderstandings and the occasional striptease with a stranger. It couldn't have had heavier-handed cues if it were produced by Pat Robertson: when a "date" veered close to real cheating (which never went anywhere), we heard tense music straight out of a soap opera; and up swelled the sappy synths when couples decided to stay together, as it turned out each...
...divorced couples can or want to share a home. More attainable--and for many, more desirable--may be a relationship like the one Long Island landscape designer Jane Lappin has with her ex-husband, carpenter David Robertson. The couple was fighting viciously by the end of their four-year marriage. The divorce proceedings only exacerbated their mutual hostility.

Both were concerned about the effect their animosity might have on John, 3 at the time of their divorce...
...NATO's Secretary-General George Robertson last week agreed with E.U. foreign ministers on a clean division of labor: NATO's prime focus is to patrol the border between Kosovo and Macedonia and offer intelligence and other support to Macedonian armed forces. The E.U., meanwhile, is concentrated on lowering the political temperature in Macedonia itself. "We can't fall into the trap of over-reacting and following the rebels' tracks into a broadening of the conflict," said Wolfgang Petritsch, the former E.U. negotiator on Kosovo and now the High Commissioner for Bosnia-Herzegovina. "We'll see soon enough what effect...
...easy. The mountainous, heavily forested terrain is tailor-made for insurgency, and some of the trails and networks the Kosovo Liberation Army (k.l.a.) used to transport arms into Kosovo in the late 1990s can be followed the other way. Robertson issued a call for more troops to strengthen the stretched resources of the 42,000 kfor troops currently in Kosovo, but none of the countries deployed, least of all the United States, expressed any enthusiasm about beefing up their presence there. NATO officials say they're "not talking about thousands of troops," and that they're confident someone will pony...
