One of Ed Bowen's theater students at the University of Portland, Sajna Indic, happened to mention to him last year that her father was an actor in Bosnia and Croatia before the family fled their homeland of Yugoslavia during its civil war in the early 1990s.

Helle Dale claims that Croatian troops forced tens of thousands of Serbian civilians out of Croatia ("Balkan ghosts," Op-Ed, Wednesday). This claim - also made by the International Criminal Tribunal - is untrue. The Croatian Serb leadership publicly admitted that it ordered and coerced its people to leave Croatia ahead of the Croatian offensives.

A core group of Daytonians have faith that great writing can change lives, having made it their mission to honor writers whose work "broadens readers' view of the world, addresses issues of controversy and shows the way to understanding," according to Sharon Rab.

MOSCOW - Russia denounced Kosovo's independence declaration Sunday, warning that the move threatened to ignite a new conflict in the Balkans and calling on NATO and U.N. officials in the territory to nix the decision. Russia requested a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, which held closed-door talks Sunday afternoon. Russia, which has veto power on the council, wants the council to renew efforts - long- since pronounced dead by the U.S. and other Western nations - to reach a negotiated settlement of Kosovo's status.

The NATO-Yugoslavia conflict in the Balkans has shed a light on the Russian government and their ill feelings towards the United States. Throughout this conflict, the Russian government has gone through hard times, which include the sacking of Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, an impeachment attempt of Boris Yeltsin, and efforts to erase part of Russia's international debt with the International Monetary Fund.
