Near the rugged border with Montenegro and Albania, French journalists managed to reach a unit in the Rugova valley west of the cleansed town of Pec. They said the rebels were organized and disciplined and appeared to be holding their own against the Serbs in sporadic fighting. In a bold move last Tuesday, rebels from this group phoned NATO and requested that planes take out a specific bridge. Twenty-four hours later, the K.L.A. commander claimed, it was gone.

While Derek simmers in jail for killing two black malefactors, Danny gets the evil message. He writes a paper on Mein Kampf, shaves his head and becomes a good little Hitler youth. Monkey...
...After a ground out, Peccerillo lofted a fly to deep right. The Jumbo right fielder turned over the wrong shoulder in pursuit down the field's gentle downslope toward the distant lacrosse goals and had it bounce off his glove for a double and a run batted in. Pec then came around on a quail to right by freshman center fielder Dan Skaff...
