| G21 NEWS: I listened to Dima's words with amazement. "I want us to toast those of us without whom our aid work would be impossible and who take all the risks to make it happen. I respect your courage and I want us to drink to that," he said in a measured voice as he raised his glass to the visitors from the Caucasus. In my time here, this seemed like the first instance I had heard a Russian use, and mean, the word "respect" when talking about Chechens....RENDT GORTER "Letters from Chechnya" - More -
RECOMMENDED DAILY REQUIREMENT: On the south side of Panmunjom, the "truce village" on the demilitarised zone between the two Koreas, American tour guides lecture coach loads of American and South Korean tourists as to why North Korean Communism is wrong. Nearby, American commanders in camps lead American soldiers onto American-dominated anti-Communist operations named after dead American officers. It is this presence that so successfully thwarts hopes of genuine stability returning to Korea.

 G21 ASIA:
FIJI: Nation at PointblankPIYUSH KUMAR
Again an ethnic rift, the bane of recent times, threatens a nation. "A coup against the coup" has happened (the twin coups, first a civil coup followed later by a military coup d'état) for the third time in this island nation since 1987.

Taming the Wild Web - Part 2DOUGLAS MC DANIEL
"Nowadays, when the binary outback has given way to the neon strip malls of the World Wide Web, the frontier metaphor resounds with the hollowness of a Will Rogers piggy bank," wrote Erik Davis in his book, Techgnosis: Myth, Magic & Mysticism in the Age of Information.

If you mean to bring about legal, non-violent political change and restore representative democracy to the United States, your best strategy is to vote for Pat Buchanan or Ralph Nader in the 2000 Presidential election. Now that you've gotten up off the floor, I'll explain why.
