DIED. BORIS TRAJKOVSKI, 47, President of Macedonia, when the small, twin-engine plane carrying him crashed in a mountainous area; in southern Bosnia. Trajkovski, a Methodist minister and respected moderate who was elected President in 1999, is credited with preventing civil war during an uprising by ethnic Albanians. After nationalists protesting negotiations with the Albanians stormed the Macedonian parliament, Trajkovski exhorted citizens not to "allow hatred to control our lives...
...third, most unusual--and therefore scariest--show is a surprisingly playful story given that it is based on its author's near death. ABC has played up the comparisons between Kingdom Hospital and David Lynch's Twin Peaks, though Kingdom isn't as arty, original or elliptical.

Capital Of Despair Hours after the funeral service of a teenage suicide took place in his Belfast church, Father Aidan Troy found himself giving last rites to another boy who hanged himself in the bell tower. The twin suicides are part of a mounting trend: Belfast has gone from being a city with a global reputation for murder to one of the U.K. 's suicide black spots, with as many as a dozen suicides reported there last year. Despite the benefits of Northern Ireland's 1998 Good Friday accord, the effects of 30 years of conflict are aggravating ordinary social...
