...disintegration of Yugoslavia is not over yet. Eleven years of misrule and military adventurism by Slobodan Milosevic have whittled Serbia's partners in the federation down to one: Montenegro, a slice of mountainous, sun-bleached rock and 680,000 inhabitants wedged between the Serbian homeland and the limpid green waters of the Adriatic Sea.

...have wondered which of the brain lesions associated with Alzheimer's is more important--the plaques that litter the empty spaces between nerve cells or the stringy tangles that erupt from within. The problem arose the moment a German neuropathologist named Alois Alzheimer stared through a microscope at a slice of brain tissue and beheld these twin markers of the disease he was first to diagnose. The year was 1906. The patient's name was Auguste D. She was 55 when she died, and she had spent the last years of her life as a patient in a mental institution...
