...first Harvard dorm, "Old Harvard," was located in front of Grays Hall and in use from 1638-1695. It was excavated extensively in the late 1980s. Finally, waterline excavations in 1992 had archaeologists trailing after the backhoe, studying remains that were uncovered on the western side of the Yard...
Loral's ill-fated launch may also have caused collateral damage of a different kind. In the wake of the crash, a committee of Western aerospace experts, headed by a top Loral official, was tapped to investigate.

Even if Milosevic has been given no secret guarantees regarding his status as an indicted war criminal, the odds are slim that NATO would risk trying to arrest him. "Western countries were reluctant to allow their troops in Bosnia to act as the Hague Tribunal?s police force, and it?s unlikely that anybody will send commandos to arrest Milosevic," says TIME Central Europe reporter Dejan Anastasijevic. Indicted war criminals Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic are still at large...
