...passage as an aspiring politician: dinner with TIME. Looking out across a table laden with the best postwar cuisine available--three platters of chicken franks, canned tuna and tomatoes--the 30-year-old rebel answers questions with a voice at once shy and calculating. Trying his best to toe the Western line, he assures us repeatedly, "We will live up to the obligations given to us." But as dinner stretches to midnight, Thaci begins to flag. Perhaps it is the endless days of negotiations with the U.S. or the months of war or just the barrage of journalists' questions about...
Other Albanians could not avoid the sight of Serb brutality. "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.

Throughout the winter, the self-conscious masses can mask their smelly feet problems with boots, leather armor and thick socks. But when warm weather brings out daisy dukes, tube tops and the requisite strappy sandals, rancid foot sufferers are caught in a bind. Do they dare to bear their toes and risk losing their friends to the stench? Smelly feet aren't a total loss. Andrew D. Hackbarth `99 attributes the name of his party-prone room in Kirkland House, The Swamp, to his roommate's notorious foot odor problem. But usually, the revealing skin of open toe cleavage, spaghetti...
