...Yasser Arafat (just below the "50" banner) was placed near Yitzhak Rabin of Israel--Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia, on Arafat's left, separated them. To Rabin's right was Tomiichi Murayama, the Prime Minister of Japan. Nelson Mandela (second row, second from left) wore dark glasses. One of the tiniest countries in the world, San Marino, was represented by two Presidents, Pier Natalino Mularoni and Marino Venturini, who stood in the second row behind Yeltsin...
...parade of reporters over the next few days. In an interview with TIME, he described the fierce gamesmanship between him and his captors. "I was in a small room, only 4 sq m [43 sq. ft.].

Nearly two years ago, the bomber sent a brief, cryptic note to the Times in which he described himself only...
...daily of cholera, the question of who controlled aid distributions seemed of little consequence. But as the emergency in the camps in Zaire and Tanzania abated, it became clear that Rwanda's former government was re-creating a replica of its defeated regime, from former ministers down to the tiniest cell leader of a few hundred peasants. Despite efforts by foreign overseers like Banville, each day for the past three months, aid workers have been handing over food, medicine and other supplies to these erstwhile officials...
