Democracy in Yugoslavia: Milosevic´s Final Defeat
After four bloody conflicts Slobodan Milosevic, the “terror of the Balkans”, has met his final defeat. Sixteen months after his last war in Kosovo his criminal regime was finally swept away by a people´s revolt. Beaten in presidential elections by opposition leader Vojislav Kostunica, Milosevic has tried every trick to stay on, but when he ordered to annul the elections, the Serbian people marched upon Belgrade and stormed the Parliament. Yugoslavia´s new president Vojislav Kostunica was warmly welcomed by the European democratic leaders, who have quickly removed most sanctions against the country. But after the forthcoming elections in December the new democratic governments of Yugoslavia and Serbia have the difficult task to reconstruct the economy as well as the democratic institutions and a good neighborhood in the Balkans. First of all the new president must renegotiate the status of Montenegro and Kosovo, two regions trying to pull out of the Federation. Another critical question is the fate of the war criminals, first among them Milosevic, who would not like it to be processed at the Hague.

People's Court
Court-style debates are a stimulating way to "debate" a controversial novel or short story. Students must really research a character's motives in order to accuse or to defend him/her to the "jury." Students also learn the rudiments of our legal system by acting as attorneys, a judge, and the jury. Loads of fun!

Crisis As Usual
Russia's current financial crisis, a slow downward slide rather than a cataclysmic fall, is becoming a microcosm of Russia in general, lurching from crisis to crisis due mainly to political and legal instability. Watch the changes in Russia's tax administration and implementation for a possible turnaround - not just in raising more money but, more importantly, raising more confidence in the government.

What would Moses say?
The recent drive to push religion into the public school system has been argued mainly on three points: 1) Today's children lack morals and character; 2) The founders were God-fearing men and God is mentioned in the United States Constitution; 3) It will stop school violence. All three are at best misdirected and at worst false. After Congress passed a bill last June allowing schools to post the Ten Commandments on school property the social conservatives shouted "Hurrah! Now these heathens will get some religion!"
