Colonel Slavko Lisica heads the Doboj Corps. He claims to have 45,000 men -- a gross exaggeration according to intelligence estimates that put the total Serb troops in Bosnia at no more than 90,000 -- under his command, and controls about 400 sq. mi. of territory substantially "cleansed" of Muslims. The situation map behind his desk shows his lines extending like a pointed finger into Muslim territory. All that would be needed to trap the corps would be for the Muslims to cut through the 10-mile-wide base of the finger with an assault on Doboj...
...Angeles. Using numbers provided by a study group he commissioned, he set out to raise $5 billion in private-sector investment over five years to bring at least 75,000 jobs to neglected parts of the city. By the group's own definition, that area encompassed 163 sq. mi. with 2.5 million residents...
Saddam Hussein's writ does not extend over the 6,800 sq. mi. of marsh that covers southern Iraq.

Arlo Guthrie sings on Tecumseh Valley, by Townes Van Zandt, though not on his father Woody's Do Re Mi. Griffith blends her voice with these and others to bring something new to the old songs and make them young again...
...depends on the determination of the residents alone, Gorazde might never fall to the Serbian guns that have surrounded the 232-sq.-mi. pocket for 10 months. For 70,000 people, a murderous route over the mountains is their only lifeline. Night after night, they come to an isolated valley in eastern Bosnia, where authorities stockpile 110-lb. flour sacks and sometimes canisters of cooking oil. One evening last week, 400 people loaded all they could into rucksacks and onto the backs of 60 ponies, and trudged off on the dangerous trek back across the snowy mountains -- the only...
