...might confirm Serb guilt for crimes during the Bosnian war. Draskovic, who escaped two assassination attempts during Milosevic's time in power, says he is unimpressed by the efforts of the security services. "Either they are protecting Mladic," he says, "or they are incompetent." Still, Serbia's efforts to shake off its past, however halting they may be, offer some hope. One day Mladic and Karadzic will likely be caught. One day, Serbia's ambitions to join the E.U. will be met. But you did not have to stand last Saturday in a light rain, under a steel-gray...
...project also fulfills Gibson's need for speed. The hunk who played Mad Max 27 years ago wants to "shake up the stale action-adventure genre," which he feels has been taken hostage by computer-generated imagery (CGI), stock stories and shallow characters. To rattle the cage, he says, "we had to think of something utterly different." The Mad Maya hero in Apocalypto is Jaguar Paw.

I'm here to see Mah-ree Eh-len," I insist, mindful that his reserve could be linked to the millions of dollars in jewels just upstairs. His wobbly head shake becomes more vigorous. "He only knows Gujarati. He says you can go up," a male voice calls...
...great teams for a few years and then sees another team take over the top spot as others reload. Consider this: in the 32 years of Ivy League women’s basketball, one team has captured three or four consecutive titles four different times in league history. The shake-up of this year’s hierarchy leaves the Crimson—perched at 8-6 this season—as an all-too-dangerous dark horse in next year’s title hunt.And the previous times Harvard has strung together a series of titles—three...
