...handle fresh arrivals, international relief agencies have opened shelters in hotels, schools and public buildings. As these facilities rapidly fill up, tent cities are being planned. But as more of the Balkans is consumed by ethnic strife, safe havens may become harder to find. "Many of the Croats who sought shelter in Bosnia are now paying for it," says Foa. Last week 2,000 Bosnians who had fled to Belgrade were packed off by the Red Cross to Kosovo. These people may soon be on the move again: the territory's predominant Albanian population recently voted to secede from Serbia...

The banner on its pole outside the tent and the whipping linear rhythms of Judith's head ribbon seem blown by an actual wind. And the undercurrent of strangeness is increased by the way Mantegna reduces Holofernes to two anatomical fragments: his head, which the avenging Jewess is placing in a bag, and the sole of his foot, which sticks up above the horizon of the bed end. Mantegna had a liking for feet -- the same dead soles confront your...
