Europe's nation-states are, after all, a comparatively recent phenomenon: The continent had been an unruly smorgasbord of tiny kingdoms and fiefdoms before the emerging urban manufacturing economy of the 18th and 19th centuries began drawing them together into the nation states we know today. The modern economy required that a single currency, language and set of laws be generalized across that smorgasbord to create the large national markets that would sustain economic growth...
...some valuable information we learned from watching the series of short animations in the classic festival. The exhibits of international origin ranged from paper drawings to clay figures and computer animation. Take heed of these applicable lessons we learned from these animations that address the issues facing students today. Lily and Jim taught us how blind dates work.

Milosevic is not stupid, and his minions at the Ministry of Information are directing their wrath at the Western media for a good reason. The nations at war today have less control over the information their citizens are receiving than ever before. Milosevic has tried to cut off independent and opposition media the traditional way--by revoking their licenses and using intimidation and assault--but there is nothing he can do to control Internet media sources save trying to discredit them. Radio B92, the independent radio station that has made so much trouble for the government since the anti-Milosevic...
