...luck, the delayed effect of late rains in 1996 that ruined harvests and kept the company from making enough of its best-selling Woodbridge Chardonnay to meet demand a year later. But Mondavi neglected to warn retailers of the shortage and failed to put them on allocation--tell them each store could get only part of its order. Instead the winery just shipped what it could, then stopped. Angry retailers canceled their orders--not just for Chardonnay but for all Woodbridge wines, which account for more than two-thirds of Mondavi's sales...
These strategies do not tell the full story behind this year's profit rebound. The Asian turmoil that burned Hewlett-Packard, Rockwell and many other U.S. companies in 1998 has yielded to a weak recovery that is at least less profit-destroying than a continued collapse. Contrary to all predictions, the American boom has not only rolled on but also speeded up. And marketing errors such as Mondavi's are relatively easy to recover from in an atmosphere of rising incomes and free consumer spending. But even if the 1998 profit lag was an aberration, as many economists think...
What matters in Kosovo now is an accounting of what happened during the 78 days when Serbs rampaged through the province while NATO bombs were falling. Everyone has a tale of brutality to tell.

"I cannot tell you what it was like to see my father with bullets ripping him from head to toe," said Jusuf Tafili, who saw the corpse of his father 41 hours after he was executed by unknown Serbs. Among the killers, Jusuf believes, were some local Serbs. "I hope the Serbs who did that won't stay here," said Jusuf, "because I know who they are. If I find them, I will kill them...
...exploited NATO's victory to make themselves heroes to the refugees and grab a share of KFOR's authority. For an entire day, despite heavy cloudbursts, rebel units staged a massive victory parade that jammed downtown Prizren. They deployed everywhere around Pec, setting up checkpoints, patrolling the empty streets. "Tell KFOR the 131st Brigade of the [K.L.A.] is based at the publishing house," announced Commander Et'hem Ceku as he pulled up with troops in a minivan. "I am responsible for the civil and administrative matters of Pec." In the hills, K.L.A. units looked anything but ready to disperse...
