...rest of the operation was routine, as was his follow up. The knee got better. I asked every oncologist I knew if they ever heard of this as a side-effect of chemotherapy. Some of the chemo they were giving Charlie was cherry-red - the thought was that somehow the tissue lining the knee (synovium, that normally makes the tan joint fluid) had been taking the red chemo molecules and changing them into something fluorescent green.

...There's something else, too: Milosevic was always extremely good at conjuring evil and discord in everything and everybody he touched. Even dead he has somehow managed to do that, not least within his own family. It took days for his wife, his brother and his two grown children to agree about the funeral arrangements, and there are now reports that they don't talk to each other. There is evidence of a serious split in Milosevic's old Socialist Party, whose leaders overplayed their role by churning out bombastic statements and fighting over the top position in the party...
