...Djindjic's pragmatic maneuvering was the glue that held the 18-member governing alliance together. His loss casts doubt on future reforms at a time when Serbia is struggling to revive its economy and win foreign aid. "Every man, woman and child will feel the consequences," says Foreign Minister Goran Svilanovic. < Djindjic was rushing to chair a session of the newly formed Anti-Corruption Council when he was struck in the chest by a single bullet fired from an abandoned office on the third floor of a building 200 m away from the government headquarters he was about to enter...
...Prize in Literature, the first by a Chinese author. To many writers, the Nobel has proved a curse, triggering furious envy from rivals, and intensifying crippling perfor-mance anxiety.

Here, with the help of football agent Athole Still, who represents England manager Sven-GOran Eriksson, TIME analyzes some of those players who excelled and looks at how they increased their market value...

It's out of this world," enthused Miroslav Luczka, resting after a hectic bout of dancing to the Yugoslav brass band Roma Zorale at a Prague club last month. Serbia's Goran Bregovic is considered a pioneer of the gypsy music revival. Though not Roma himself, he scored Yugoslav director Emir Kusturica's 1989 film Time of the Gypsies, which critics consider a seminal work that did for gypsy music what the cult classic The Harder They Come did for reggae.
