They have still not come to terms that they were on the losing side of a war of aggression that Milosevic's Serbia committed against Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. They have still not come to terms with the fact that Croatia is an independent country proud of its recent victory on the battle-field against criminal aggression. Croatia's enemies have since conducted a defamation campaign against all Croats, not just Thompson. It is their hope to stifle Croatia's chance at entry into the European Union. Thompson is very popular among Croatians that are old enough to remember the war years in the early 1990s. And the band quickly became a natural target for Croatia's enemies. The defamation campaign is spear-headed by negative propaganda identical to the kind spread world-wide during communist Yugoslavia.
Hemingway Makes Stage Début, His Intent Intact at Last
First came Mark Twain's "Is He Dead?," freshly dug out of the vault and adapted for Broadway by David Ives. And now the off-Broadway Mint Theater is mounting the first faithful production of "The Fifth Column," the only play by Ernest Hemingway. The story of why "The Fifth Column" has been neglected is a complicated one, involving several mishaps, an inept Hollywood screenwriter, and a 1940 Broadway production of a bastardized version of the play. "Ernest absolutely disinherited it and had nothing to do with it," Hemingway's biographer, A.E. Hotchner, said of the Broadway production. "I think he was glad when it closed prematurely." Hemingway wrote "The Fifth Column" in 1937, when he was living at the Hotel Florida in Madrid, covering the Spanish Civil War for the North American Newspaper Alliance.

Lahoud urged the international community to double its efforts to ensure global peace based on respect of the peoples' right to secure and safe living. In the United Arab Emirates, Deputy Prime Minister Sheik Hamdan bin Zayed al-Nahyan said, "the UAE condemns strongly such ugly crimes and declares its full solidarity with the British government." Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Baker al-Kurbi stressed that the "Yemeni government and people denounce such acts which target innocent civilians." "The Yemeni people express full solidarity with the British people and the government approves any measures to be taken by our British friends in squashing terrorism," he added.
Sex workers in it for a quick buck
The Prostitutes Collective believes most sex workers simply use the industry to make a quick buck. National Coordinator Catherine Healy says only a third of New Zealand's prostitutes use sex as a means to live. She says the remainder do not stay with the world's oldest profession for very long. Ms Healy says one of the motivations for being in the profession is to have things they would not normally be able to afford. She says they earn up to $120 an hour, which can open up a lot of opportunities. Ms Healy says about 20 per cent of sex workers have taken up tertiary study. Share this Article:
