...roads around Foca and other towns. A U.N. source told TIME that British and French commando units began training in Bosnia in mid-May. Following Robertson's visit, a pro-Serb-Montenegrin newspaper claimed that British commandos had been killed in a snatch attempt. NATO officials went through the roof. "Absolutely twisted," said a senior British officer, denying the report as utter fabrication. But when NATO promptly launched an apparently routine 1,200-man exercise in the part of eastern Bosnia where Karadzic and others are rumored to be hiding, speculation in local cafes about imminent arrests reached new levels...

A dilapidated temple devoted to Kali lies a few hundred meters from where Carolyn was strangled, just beyond her grave, which was finally discovered by police a few weeks ago after a tip-off. There, in a lean-to fashioned from a corrugated-iron roof and four wooden posts, the only decoration a single spear stuck into the raw earth, Shanmugavela and the three other killers conducted a gruesome set of rites upon Carolyn's corpse, an otherworldly ceremony they believed would bring a mundane reward: winning lottery numbers.

Just above the tree is the farmhouse, which, with its angled porch roof, looks like the profile of a silly face staring in surprise down its triangular nose at the tree. Most recently, after a move out of San Francisco in the mid-'90s, Thiebaud embarked on a series of brightly colored, sharply divided, wildly patterned landscapes of the Sacramento River delta, seen from way up, as though from...
