...shouldn't be speaking for [Castro], but he responded to the film very favorably, and we had a very interesting discussion afterward," said a spokesman for Costner, who was swarmed by enthusiastic fans in Havana. What's next? An invitation for the actor to visit with imprisoned ex-President Slobodan Milosevic for repeated screenings of 3,000 Miles to Graceland...
...heart of every great criminal enterprise, prosecutors will tell you, is an insider willing to sing. In Slobodan Milosevic's Yugoslavia, potential informers were terrorized into silence by some of the most expert hit men in Europe. But with the ex-President behind bars, one man has emerged as stool pigeon No. 1. Mihalj Kertes, an unctuous 53-year-old of Hungarian descent, was head of the federal customs bureau in Belgrade - an unremarkable post in a normal country, but one that in Serbia placed him at the heart of an illegal network that extended to Milosevic, his inner circle...

...With SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC behind bars in a 36-sq.-ft. windowless cell (complete with squat toilet) in downtown Belgrade, a former crony emerged as the man whose testimony put him there. MIHALJ KERTES was chief of Customs from 1994 to 2000, placing him at the center of a criminal network that permeated the regime. It was through Kertes, investigators say, that as much as $4 billion in levies collected at Serbia's borders was diverted to Milosevic. Now, say Milosevic's lawyers, Kertes is telling all. To defend himself from that testimony, Milosevic said the stolen funds were...
