The Holy Experiment
<p>Despite some misconceptions about William Penn, he was undoubtedly a man of great vision. He envisioned, in the New World, a land where men could govern themselves and be free from the restrictions of 17<sup>th</sup> century English society yet ruled by men who were godly and fair. While Penn did not realize his ideal and, in fact, spent only a few years in his colony during his lifetime, his grand vision became, of course, the modern Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.</p> <p> This is part one of a two part look at the colonial history of Pennsylvania. </p>

Croatia after Tudjman: New Chance for Democracy
Franjo Tudjman will probably be remembered in history as the father of Croatian independence. His secret pact with Slobodan Milosevic for the partition of Bosnia between Serbia and Croatia has given the signal for the definitive dissolution of former Yugoslavia. With his successful offensives against the Serbs castled in Krajina and Slavonia he has restabilized the territorial integrity of the Croatian Republic. But after ten years of quasi dictatorial regime president Tudjman's death in December 1999 has come as a relief for Croatia's democrats. In January parliamentary and presidential elections have sentenced the victory of the democratic opposition. State president in Zagreb is now Stipe Mesic. New prime minister is the Social Democrat Ivica Racan who has formed a center-left coalition. Both agree to drag Croatia away from Balkan absolutisms towards democracy and cooperation. After ten years of international isolation their ambition is joining the EU and NATO.
