President Slobodan Milosevic over the weekend reiterated his acceptance of the Bonn Accord signed by Russia and the leading NATO countries, but that agreement is open to such diverse interpretation that it will require some nimble diplomatic choreography to turn it into a workable peace plan. At issue: When NATO stops its bombing; the nature of NATO involvement in the U.N.-authorized peacekeeping force for Kosovo; and the size of the Yugoslavian military presence allowed to remain in the province. One indicator of the progress of peace talks is Ahtisaari's schedule. He's indicated that he'll accompany Chernomyrdin...
...things on the Internet. Unless parents carry around the computer wherever they go, kids will visit sites that they shouldn't. Kids go where they want.

She doesn't have a place. She is a bird of passage, always about to leave one movie location for the next. The film's comedy and crises arise out of their attempts to find a refuge where she can settle down and he can open...
...allergies, they often use a method that's scary enough to send anyone into a wheezing fit: they inject up to 50 allergens under the skin and then wait to see which causes a reaction. But the practice may be unnecessary. In pinpointing, for example, cat allergies, the shots turn out to be no more effective than lightly pricking the skin with an allergen or simply testing the blood...
