For the West, the whole issue remains an embarrassment, and a reminder of how little it was ready to do a few years ago, when more decisive action might have prevented the massacres from taking place.Prospects: Bosnia now enjoys a kind of peace, but this may prove to be poisoned.

When the terrorism begins, people will shake their heads and wonder why.Has the dream turned sour in South Africa?The plot: South Africa is lurching, steadily if not faultingly, towards normality and integration. But it has discovered along the way that the road to reconciliation can be a highway of hazards.The economy is growing rapidly, but violent crime is tearing at society, both black and white. In the first seven months of 1995, more than 1 million serious crimes were reported, including 10,000 murders, about one every 29 minutes. The crime wave is beginning to undermine investor confidence in South Africa’s “miracle transformation”. Many English-speaking white professionals are emigrating to safer climes, taking their badly needed skills with them.The characters: crime is but a nasty symptom of a country and society in transition. Individuals and groups are struggling to come to terms with the changes brought by the advent of black rule – Afrikaners with having lost their position of privilege, black South Africans with the realisation that governing a country is a difficult business.
Many blacks have been forced to face up to the harsh reality that the end of apartheid did not mean sudden material improvements in their lives. The concept of a “rainbow nation” exists only in sports and in the world of advertising. Whites and blacks still have a great mistrust of each other.Prospects: these divisions may deepen in a few short weeks, when a Truth Commission begins exhuming apartheid-era crimes. Although the commission can grant amnesty to all who come clean about their old misdeeds, conservative whites believe the past is better forgotten and forgiven without the theatricals.
The black majority, however, feels strongly that there can be no reconciliation without discussion of past crimes.Another potential focus for trouble is General Magnus Malan, a former defence minister who is due to go on trial in March along with 10 fellow senior officers for 13 apartheid-era murders. He has become a rallying point for those opposed to dredging up the past.But the legacies of the past are still alive and killing in the KwaZulu- Natal province, where black-on-black political violence claims scores of victims every month.Is North Korea really dangerous?The plot: since the end of the Cold War, North Korea’s isolation has been unique. Cut off by its former patrons, China and Russia, it sticks stubbornly to the Stalinist path. The ruling Workers’ Party has no rivals, and about one in 10 of the population belongs to it. There is no freedom of speech or information or anything else.

Woman who found Elvis dead tells ABC News about singer’s drug abuse, last day.
Andrew Gibbs is among the Welsh hopefuls who go into this morning’s match against Australia B under the Ballymore floodlights. With just two minor games to come before the Second Test on 22 June, the Wallaby B team provide the final potent opposition. “Test places are still up for grabs,” the Newbridge flanker said “It is going to be like another international. We have got three matches to really get our game going.”
Gibbs, the No 8 Emyr Lewis, lock Paul Arnold and the stand-off Arwel Thomas are perhaps the ones most likely to be under the selectors’ microscope.The coach, Kevin Bowring, is demanding a tightening up of the Welsh defence around the fringes.
“The Australians are hitting close from first phase, slamming stuff, and we have to physically deal with that or we will be in trouble,” he said.With just one Welsh win from four games, however, the odds are that Australia B will carry just too much firepower.. Tim Henman continued to demonstrate why he is regarded as Britain’s brightest hope when he produced a gallant performance to upset the No 16 seed, Javier Frana, and reach the second round of the Stella Artois grass-court championships yesterday. Frana is unusual in that he is an Argentinian who favours grass over clay. A committed serve and volleyer, he proved an ideal opponent for Henman to test himself against.
There was little to choose between their games, but Frana definitely had the edge in size and strength.
In the end that advantage was cancelled out by Henman’s resilience under pressure, and his ability to lift his game when he most needed to, rather than slump into defeat when the going got tough.Henman began by taking a 3-0 lead, was broken back in the fifth game and held a set point at 6- 5, which he lost when he hit a poor return. Frana took the tie-break and swiftly built a 3-0 lead in the second.Frana though had problems with his serve, and Henman took advantage. The Argentinian twice double-faulted to set up break points, and on both occasions Henman accepted his opportunity. In the final set Henman sneaked ahead 4-3, double-faulted to lose his serve, but kept his head, broke again and served out for the match.”I was anxious to perform well, and to perform well and win is a bonus,” Henman said. “When you’re 3-0 down in the second set you’ve got your back against the wall, but the chances I was having I knew I would take them eventually.” If Henman defeats the Russian Andrei Olhovskiy today, he will face Thomas Muster, the top seed and world No 2, in the third round.The Austrian won his first tournament match on grass when he beat France’s Guillaume Raoux 6-7, 7-5, 7-6 after two and a half hours “I really enjoyed playing. I have no pressure on this surface because nobody has any expectations of me,” Muster said.”It’s the low bounce that gives me a problem Nothing comes by instinct.

Brown: “I Wish I Could Take It All Back.”
The Soviet-led invasion on 21 August put an end to the Czechoslovak experiment with humane socialism.Mlynar was with the rest of the Czechoslovak leadership that was kidnapped by the invaders and whose members were forced to negotiate under duress in Moscow to give their qualified blessing to the Soviet military presence in the country. Dubcek had become the CPCz’s leader in January 1968, and within weeks Czechoslovakia was embarking on a new path which brought the end of censorship, the re- emergence of non-Communist organisations and the promise of far-reaching market-oriented economic reforms. The economic downturn in the early 1960s and the failure of Antonin Novotny, the long-standing CPCz leader, to follow the de-Stalinisation programmes of some of his Communist neighbours, had fuelled widespread discontent which, in turn, prompted growing demands for change within and outside the party.It was in these conditions that in 1967 Mlynar became head of an inter- disciplinary research team whose task was to work on the development of democracy in the Communist system. In the mid-1960s, as the long winter of Communist orthodoxy was beginning to be assailed by the first harbingers of the Prague Spring, Mlynar became a senior official in the CPCz’s legal affairs department. Between 1951 and 1955 he studied at the law faculty of Moscow’s Lomonosov University where he and Gorbachev became, in Mlynar’s words, “a pair of close friends”.A year after his return to Prague, Mlynar joined the Institute for State and Law of the Academy of Sciences. Their fate – and that of the Prague Spring – was sealed by the fact that the Czechoslovak reforms were being shaped at a time when the Soviet empire was reaching its most expansionist phase; and that the Kremlin’s incumbent at the time was not Mikhail Gorbachev but Leonid Brezhnev who had zero tolerance towards more liberal forms of Communism.
Born in Vysoke Myto, in eastern Bohemia, in 1930, Mlynar joined the CPCz at the age of 16 and worked for the party’s youth wing after secondary school.
As the top intellectual in the CPCz leadership, Mlynar was in many ways the brains behind the charismatic Dubcek. Mlynar was a close associate of Alexander Dubcek, the leader of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (CPCz), whose short-lived experiment to launch “socialism with a human face” was brought to an abrupt end by the Soviet- led military invasion in August 1968. Nearly 20 years before Mikhail Gorbachev embarked on his ambitious and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to reform the Soviet system, Zdenek Mlynar, one of his friends from his student days in Moscow, had tried to introduce similar policies when he was a member of the Czechoslovak Communist leadership that presided over the Prague Spring of 1968. Nicholas reported: “It is to be hoped that the new newspaper, the Sun, will make some contribution to the wider interest of the trade union and Labour movement.”Jack JonesHerbert Richard Nicholas, trade unionist: born Bristol 13 March 1905; Clerk, Port of Bristol Authority 1919-36; District Officer, Gloucester, Transport and General Workers Union 1936-38, Regional Officer, Bristol 1938-40, National Officer, London 1940-56, Assistant General Secretary 1956-68, Acting General Secretary 1964-66; OBE 1949; Member, National Executive Committee, Labour Party 1956-64, 1967-68, Treasurer 1960-64, General Secretary 1968-72; Member, TUC General Council 1964-67; Kt 1970; married 1932 Rosina Brown (deceased); died 15 April 1997.. The TGWU had distributed 200,000 leaflets and used publicity in its journal to try to increase the circulation of the Herald to prevent its demise, but without success. In trade union circles generally, he was renowned for smart debonair appearance, invariably wearing an Anthony Eden hat and nice clothes.
One newspaper reporter during the automation strike in the West Midlands during the 1950s mistook him for a Scotland Yard detective.As union policies changed in the latter years of his service Nicholas moved slightly to the left. On one occasion, in response to press criticism about his change of approach on TUC policy, he said he was merely carrying out decisions made by the 39 lay member- executive of the union, with which he now agreed.Towards the end of Nicholas’s period as acting General Secretary of the TGWU a decision was made by the TUC to sell the full rights of the old Daily Herald to the Mirror Group. His smooth, polished nature helped to avoid too much trouble but he did not fit in easily to the rough and tough problems of the shop floor.
