	Dining with the Devil: America's 'Tacit Cooperation' with Iran in Arming the Bosnians by Maud S. Beelman photos by Rikard Larma The directive from the U.S. ambassador to Croatia set off alarm bells at the CIA. Peter Galbraith wanted his station chief to confirm for Croatian intelligence that the United States did not object to Iran establishing an arms pipeline to the Muslim-led government of neighboring Bosnia-Herzegovina.
	Lost in New York: Baseball's Latin Ghetto by Marcos Bretón with photos by José Luis Villegas NEW YORK - They are discards and runaways, lost souls and drug dealers, day laborers and illegal immigrants, and to a man, old before their time.
	The Spoils of War: Report From Nagorno-Karabakh by Andrew Meier, photos by Jacqueline Mia Foster You've won the war, now win the peace." The words come to me from an old hand in the tangled politics of the Caucasus. We are sitting in a well-appointed foreign embassy in the capitol of Armenia. My host, a western diplomat, related his prescription for Armenia's ailments. "This is what we must tell the Armenians all the time now. The war's over, you've given the Azeris a good licking, but still there is no peace. What then have you really won?"
	Abandoned Education: Tunica's Schools Struggle with Leftovers and Neglect by Laura Parker, photos by former APF Fellow William Prochnau TUNICA, Mississippi - Nobody in Miss Mitchell's Algebra I class learned much in 1993 because Miss Mitchell quit in October. No replacement could be found. The principal at Rosa Fort High School neglected to mention these facts to Miss Liimatta when she was hired the following year to teach Algebra II.
Is the Government Losing its Memory? by Alexander Stille Scholars of antiquity and the Middle Ages often complain of insufficient information with which to piece together the historical record. Chroniclers of our own age may soon complain of the opposite problem: an avalanche of paper and electronic data that could make their task equally difficult, in its own way, as writing about the worlds of Plato or Charlemagne.
