...want their five- year-olds on a couch two decades from now telling a psychiatrist, "It was those R-rated thrillers my daddy green-lighted that warped my life."

Unending war has become an occupation force, seizing village after village of Bosnia and Herzegovina in its vicious grip. Across trenches and rubble- strewn no-man's-lands reminiscent of World War I, Bosnian and Serb soldiers blaze away on dozens of small battlefields.

After scoring the Islanders' winning goal, Turgeon skated away in unguarded celebration. But Hunter stalked the unsuspecting Islander high scorer half the width of the rink, blindsiding him with a vicious check that separated his shoulder and sidelined him for the rest of the play-offs. Hunter will pay for his revenge: a 21-game suspension next season and $150,000 docked from his salary...
