...respond. With all of Asia then in a state of unprecedented financial collapse, the Bank of Japan adopted a series of measures that took it into a realm where no central bank had ever previously dared venture. Lending rates were slashed to zero, and the Bank became a vast money-printing machine. Yet so concerned were the authorities that these extreme measures could lead the economy in unmanageable directions that they moved too soon to reduce spending and raise interest rates. That sent the economy into a still deeper deflationary dive. Then the government threw all caution to the wind...
...left him with no inclination to join the other immortals on music's Parnassus. Instead, he has chosen to remain right here with us, on the coal face of humanity, mining our rawest emotions to fuel a music that has the power to warm any heart.

...This was not always easy, because some of Milosevic's queries were too ludicrous to be taken seriously. He implied, for example, that I was part of a vast anti-Serb conspiracy that also included Harvard University, a number of human-rights groups and various media outlets. He spent a lot of time trying to prove that my story was nothing but irrelevant hearsay. I tried to describe what I had seen in Vukovar as simply and clearly as possible. It may have been the most important thing I will ever do. After my testimony was over I felt...
