...Milosevic's departure, even if it is followed shortly by the extradition of Karadzic, Mladic and others on the wanted list, doesn't quite close the brutal chapter of Balkan history that might be termed the Milosevic era. While Serbs have become increasingly comfortable with blaming Milosevic and his henchmen for many of the crimes against humanity that occurred in the Balkan wars of the past decade, Serbian society has only just begun to pose the more uncomfortable questions about collective culpability. But the trial will be a challenge to the international community, too. It was relatively uncontroversial...
...that they are already in deep--is one of the reasons the banks have loaned Warnaco even more money. But if the bankruptcy court decides to sell off assets, rivals such as VF Corp., Kellwood, Jones Apparel and Sara Lee would be potential buyers. Although technically abrogated by the Chapter 11 filing, the Calvin Klein license, at least for the moment, will probably stay with Warnaco until the judge rules on it. So too, most likely, will Wachner. Her contract includes an estimated $25 million golden parachute. Which only goes to show that while fashions may come and go, some...
...latest results do hold up, some of the most important questions in cosmology--how old the universe is, what it's made of and how it will end--will have been answered, only about 70 years after they were first posed.

LAILA ALI, 23, scored a majority decision over JACQUI FRAZIER-LYDE, 39, last Friday night in Verona, N.Y., in what was billed as the next chapter in the Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier feud but was actually a fight between two women who are very bad at boxing. True, both fighters came in undefeated: Ali had crushed 48-year-old grandmother Marjorie Jones; Frazier-Lyde had whupped a 19-year-old who turned tail when she saw Frazier charging. The fighters exchanged...
...Dylan. One other person, Richard Farina, may have realized it too, but he died in a motorcycle accident in 1966, just as he was poised to become Dylan's great rival. In Positively 4th Street (Farrar, Straus & Giroux; 328 pages; $25), David Hajdu adds an important chapter to the Dylan legend by recounting the professional and personal loves of these two men and the music that fueled...
