...what one might call "social.." I do not frequent a. Temple Bar, b. the Signet Society or c. the Pit. To tell the sad truth, I rarely emerge from the Crimson-Dunster-Carpenter triangle.

The Serbs at that moment were blasting Sarajevo apart and "cleansing" the countryside of Muslims. Milosevic told us smoothly, "There is no Serb aggression...We are merely protecting ourselves." Besides, the Croats "cleansed" several hundred thousand Serbs 50 years before...
