Jim Devine made a point that I raised some time ago. In my department, the
average tenure must be about 20 years. We have no young people and we old
foggies hang on. Previously, when we had more openings, some young people did
not get permanent jobs. Job tenure is now much higher here, but
What would it be if we counted the homeless? Unemployment count, like the

Beijing is to abandon Deng Xiaoping's
low-profile foreign policy to beat back the
challenges of a fast-expanding

According to NATO authorities, Milosevic only understands force.
It seems to me that the situation is the other way around.
Milosevic is at least trying to get some diplomatic negotiations
going whereas NATO makes demands and sees bombing, force, as the
only means of getting them met. NATO
