...unwitting touch of humor is added by the program notes, which warn that the play was written in 1979 before we knew about AIDS. Kids, don't try this at home: "The only way to completely avoid AIDS is to abstain from sexual intercourse," cautions the program for a play which contains 10 1/2 depictions or descriptions of extramarital sex.

Overwhelmingly, U.S. and European military experts warn against getting involved. Yugoslavia is almost custom designed to frustrate any peacekeeping, or peacemaking, force. The terrain is mountainous, perfect for ambushes and hit-and-run operations. Many of the irregulars are well trained and are skilled in guerrilla warfare. The weapons they would use against an intervening force are small, portable and abundant. Western analysts point out that the fathers and grandfathers of today's fighters tied down 30 Axis divisions for four years during World War II. The generals would prefer another Desert Storm: an obvious enemy, a clear military objective...

The French, along with the Germans, seem to be trying to fill the vacuum of outside leadership that has characterized the fighting in Croatia and Bosnia...
...treatment under study at the John Wayne Cancer Institute in Santa Monica, Calif., appears at least to prolong lives. Researchers injected patients with a tuberculosis vaccine mixed with melanoma cells. Result: average survival went from seven to 23 months, with some staying cancer free for eight years. The doctors warn that an approved vaccine could take a decade...
