...pedigree--the show is produced by the Dreamworks team of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, with creative guidance from monologist Eric Bogosian--High Incident maintains an embarrassingly CHiPs-like feel as its cast of eight Ray-Ban-wearing patrol-car cops meander about a fictional Los Angeles suburb responding to wacky calls...
...reports TIME's Massimo Calabresi from the city. After almost four years of war, the last of five Serb-held areas came under the control of the Muslim-Croat Federation Tuesday. Following days of looting, arson and reported rape by angry Serbs, 100 Federation police moved into the Serb suburb of Grbavica. Hours before, departing Serbs had tossed grenades and set buildings ablaze before fleeing. The mixed Federation police force -- 75 Muslims, 20 Serbs and five Croats -- now patrol the district. "Recently, between 50,000 and 60,000 Serbs have fled and only 11,000 remain," says Calabresi. He also...
GENEVA: Secretary of State Warren Christopher meets with Balkan leaders today in an attempt to bolster the U.S. brokered peace process in Yugoslavia.

Roped in front, about 100 agitated supporters stood, patiently awaiting the descent of their savior who was to arrive some 20 minutes late on a hired...
VOGOSCA, BOSNIA: The Bosnian Muslim-Croat Federation was supposed to have a day of reconciliation with Serbs on Friday as it took over the administration of the Serb-held Vogosca suburb of Sarajevo. Instead, officials took over the administration of a nearly empty town. Most of the 24,000 Bosnian Serbs who inhabited Vogosca had already fled for Serb territory, and the Muslim-Croat police made their way to the city hall down quiet, deserted streets. When they got there, they may have confirmed fears the few remaining Serbs had about the transfer of power. The new bosses raised...
