...People was the first and best of these films. It is the story of Irena Dubrovna (Simone Simon), a beautiful young Serbian woman who is cursed to turn into a panther whenever she is sexually aroused. Obviously, love is a dangerous thing...
...enterprise carries a price tag of $1.9 billion over 15 months. In Yugoslavia, where hostilities continue to flare despite a formal cease-fire, the 14,000 troops begin with a one-year budget of $600 million, which is more likely to shrink than grow. But the commitment to protect Serbian enclaves in three war-ravaged areas of Croatia is open-ended, to allow for extensions in the negotiations being conducted by the European Community in Brussels.

They are the vanguard of 14,000 soldiers from 30 countries, the first U.N. peacekeeping force ever deployed in Europe.

That holds particularly true for the main antagonists in the Yugoslav civil war. Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, still nominally a socialist, has led his people to war in the name of a virulent ethnic nationalism that has nothing in common with the international brotherhood of workers to which he once professed allegiance. For his major opponent, Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, democratic principles merely temper...
