DIED. ALIJA IZETBEGOVIC, 78, former Bosnian President who led his country through a brutal war and eventually to independence; of complications from a fall; in Sarajevo. Criticized as fundamentalist by some Serbs and Croatians, the devout Muslim was hailed by others for resolutely defending his country against Serbian aggression in a three-year conflict, the bloodiest since World War II, which killed more than...
Unlike Sacco's previous books, where he illustrates the stories of various people he interviews, "The Fixer" uses one individual who personifies a particular place. Neven, a native Sarajevan born to a Muslim mother and raised by a Serbian father, constitutes the traditional cosmopolitaness of that once most tolerant city.

Neither Radosavljevic nor the Serbian government would comment. But Radosavljevic recently told a Belgrade newspaper that he has never been implicated by the Hague war-crimes tribunal and that "I'm ready to go to court to prove my innocence if it turns out to be necessary." A U.S. State Department official, meanwhile, would confirm only that Serbian and Montenegrin officials visited U.S. military leaders in Washington and at Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Fla., last week for consultations...
