Thanks to a show of force by NATO troops, pro-Plavsic police took over precincts in Banja Luka, and her supporters wrested control of strategic TV transmitters from Karadzic allies....

Williams’ seemingly inevitable march to the final of a women’s singles tournament in which none of the top 10 seeds remain continued at pace against Evgeniya Rodina as she eased into the last eight, but the seven-time Wimbledon champion needed to use much more of her reserves against Giorgi.
