...been accused of being a draft dodger, a smuggler and an all-around bully, but is MARKO MILOSEVIC just misunderstood? Last week in the town of Pozarevac, the son of Yugoslav President Slobodan cut the ribbon on Bambi Park, an amusement park he had built even as the air war raged. Marko says the park offers "proof of care for the young generation." For the older generation, proof of Marko's care can be seen at Madona, a nightclub enticingly advertised as the largest in the Balkans. It threatened to start its own skirmish when Liz Rosenberg, the other Madonna...
...another American President has put his faith in the spooks from Langley to get rid of an unsavory leader, Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. As NATO warplanes roared over Serbia this spring, Bill Clinton signed a secret presidential "finding" giving the CIA the green light to try to topple Milosevic's regime.

Their ignorance is symptomatic of life in Serbia, where appearance and reality are carefully managed by Milosevic's propaganda machine. And though some Serbs have access to CNN and the Internet, it's still tough for them to get a clear view in a state where Milosevic controls even the weather report...
...shouldn?t Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif claim victory in Kashmir? After all, Slobodan Milosevic called his ignominious exit from Kosovo a victory, too. And, sorry Mr. Sharif, but it looks like you'll have as hard a time as the Serb leader in convincing your electorate that they have anything to celebrate in the withdrawal of their forces from the Indian side of Kashmir agreed to by Pakistan on Sunday. Pakistan?s prime objective in occupying strategic peaks in Indian territory, says Nawaz, was to "internationalize" its claim on the disputed territory. It was also...
