...that kind of humiliating defeat would have been greeted with derision in Belgrade. No one's laughing now. In just over a year, the K.L.A. has transformed itself from a disorganized network of bandits into a presentable, if limited, guerrilla army. That army is a fraction of the size of the Yugoslav army, but it has all the classic guerrilla advantages: the loyalty of the population, an intimate knowledge of the terrain and a brutality that won its members the label of "terrorists" a year ago. Already they have killed hundreds of Serb security forces in ambushes and sniper attacks...
...turn, grow into 8-in. smolts C in about two years, and it is these small, silvery fish that make the improbable migration from freshwater river to saltwater ocean. Smolts that survive the trip--and plenty don't--spend four years at sea, feeding and growing to full adult size (3 lbs. to 126 lbs.). Then they begin the long upstream journey D back to their hatching grounds, where they spawn and, a few weeks later, die. A small number of adults may survive this stage and, stubbornly, return to the ocean to repeat the cycle once more...
Preparing a special issue of TIME like the one you're holding takes careful planning.

So he, deputy chief of reporters ANDREA DORFMAN, and TIME's science staff began working on it nearly a year ago; by last fall their list of the greatest minds of the century had been boiled down to a few dozen names. In November...
With 100 points this season, Harvard's shortest skater is second only to the 5'11 Mleczko among the nation's leading scorers. Shewchuk admits that her official height of 5'4 is "generous," but she makes up for her lack of size with her quickness and her ability to light the lamp at a frightening pace...
...never think of size as a disadvantage because women's hockey is still a very open, fluid game," Shewchuk says. "I played full-contact a couple of years ago with boys in Montreal who were 6'2 or bigger, so size doesn't intimidate me. When you're short you have to be fast, and I like to think of my smallness as sneakiness. I can slip behind people a little easier than taller players. In some ways I have to take two strides when everyone else only needs one, but you learn to get past that and I haven...
