...Croatian Peasants' Party--a moderate leftist party concerned with the poverty of people living in the rural parts of Croatia. As World War II struck and a minority of Croatians supported the puppet state erected by the Nazis, Tudjman chose to battle the fascists instead. He joined the Yugoslav Partisans and fought in the war on the side of the Allies. Thus, in Tudjman's death, Europe has lost its last leader who actively fought against fascism...
Slobodan Milosevic wasn't at the funeral Monday of his fellow president, Croatia's Franjo Tudjman; they were sworn enemies as a result of the Bosnian war. But even as tens of thousands of Croats turned out to mourn the former Yugoslav army general who led them through a bloody war for independence, the Serbian strongman may have felt the loss of his nemesis - after all, Tudjman and Milosevic were the very best of enemies.

And with Belgrade having just been granted $300 million in reconstruction aid by China, Milosevic doesn't look like he's about to leave the scene. "So the question isn't whether there'll be a confrontation, but when it will happen," says Anastasijevic. "But rather than simply send in his army, Milosevic may choose instead...
...staff and ready to gauge the '99 gridiron alongside her Adam's-appled colleagues. Defending champ L.I. Slim is definitely feeling the pressure. From the new fearsome threesome, the locks of the week and the guesses of the rest. We'll be betting in Yugoslav dinars because ? as always ? it's for entertainment purposes only, lest someone get their thumbs broken...
