    February 13, 1992 Volume 4, Issue 4 His Excellency Franjo Tudjman President of the Republic of Croatia Radi ev Trg 2 41000 Zagreb Croatia Dear President Tudjman: The U.S. Helsinki Watch Committee is deeply concerned by reports of serious human rights abuses by forces responsible to the Croatian government and by individual extremists in Croatia. Our own investigations of these reports, conducted during a series of fact-finding missions to Croatia in the past year, indicate that many of these reports are well-founded. We call upon you to investigate the abuses enumerated in this letter and to punish those responsible for them. We call upon you to take immediate measures to ensure that such violations of human rights do not occur again. The abuses described in this letter include violations of the laws of war in the current conflict between Croatian and Serbian forces and the Yugoslav army, including the summary execution of civilians and disarmed combatants; the torture and mistreatment of detainees; arbitrary arrests and disappearances; destruction of civilian property and the killing of journalists covering the war. In addition to violations connected with the war, Helsinki Watch has also documented restrictions on freedom of expression and the press and interference with the independence of the judiciary. Finally, we are gravely concerned about the harassment, discrimination and rising violence against Serbs not engaged in the armed conflict in Croatia. Rules of War Violations in Croatia by Croatian Forces Violations of the rules of war are often committed by local police officers and members of the Croatian army1 in areas which are under heavy siege by Serbian forces and the Yugoslav army.

In an ancient village, a parable tells, all the people were blind. One day while walking on the road, six men from that village came upon a man riding an ele- phant. The six men, who had heard about elephants but had never been close to one, asked the rider to allow them to touch the great beast. They wanted to go back to their village to tell the other villagers what an elephant looked like. The rider agreed and led each of the six men to a different part of the elephant. All the blind men touched and stroked the elephant until they were certain they knew what the animal looked like. In great anticipation they returned to their village to report their experience. The villagers gathered around to hear about the elephant. The first man, who had felt the animal’s side, said, “An elephant is like a great thick wall.” “Nonsense,” said the second man, who had felt the elephant’s tusk. “He is rather short, round, and smooth, but very sharp. I would compare an elephant not with a wall but with a spear!” The third man, who had touched the ear, took exception. “It is nothing at all like a wall or a spear,” he said.

A rather minor thank you must be rendered to Miss Tanja Petrović, for had I not at one time been well-acquainted with her, the questions of what had happened in the former Yugoslavia during World War II as topics for research seminars would not have arisen.

  • Every Fifth Man
    EVERY FIFTH MAN Edward D. Hoch YOU PROBABLY WONDER why I’m still alive after all that has happened, and l suppose it is quite a story. I’d been living and training with the exiles for two years before the attempted coup, knowing - as we all knew - the penalty for failure. There were months of hand-to-hand combat and paratrooper training and even some explosives practice before we were ready for the big day, the day we returned to Costanera. I’d lived the 25 years of my life in the cities and towns and jungle villages of Costanera. It was my country, worth fighting for, every inch of it. We left with the coming of General Diam, but now we were going back. We would drop from the skies by night, pin the anti-Diam military, and enter the capital city in triumph. That was the plan. Somehow it didn’t work out that way. The military changed their minds about it, and we jumped from our planes into a withering crossfire from General Diam’s forces. More than half of our liberation force of 65 were dead before we reached the ground, and the others were overrun quickly. By nightfall we found ourselves prisoners of the army in the great old fortress overlooking Azul Bay. There were 23 of us taken prisoner that day, and of these one man - Tomas - had a bad wound in his side. We were crowded into a single large cell at the fortress and left to await our fate. It was hot in there, with the sweat of bodies and a mustiness of air that caught at my throat and threatened to choke me.

  • 21-110: Problem Solving in Recreational Mathematics Homework Assignment 3 Solutions
    21-110: Problem Solving in Recreational Mathematics Homework assignment 3 solutions Problem 1. (\A Swimmer and a Hat," from The Moscow Puzzles by Boris A. Kordemsky, edited by Martin Gardner.) A boat is being carried away by a current. A man jumps out and swims against the current for a while, then turns around and catches up with the boat. Did he spend more time swimming against the current or catching up with the boat? (We assume his muscular efforts never change in strength.) The answer is: Both times were the same. The current carries man and boat downstream at the same speed. It does not affect the distance between the swimmer and the boat. Now imagine that a sportsman jumps off a bridge and begins to swim against the current. The same moment a hat blows off a man's head on the bridge and begins to float downstream. After 10 minutes the swimmer turns back, reaches the bridge, and is asked to swim on until he catches up with the hat. He does, under a second bridge 1,000 yards from the first. The swimmer does not vary his effort. What is the speed of the current? Solution. The current carries the swimmer and the hat downstream at the same rate and does not itself change the distance between them. The swimmer and the hat begin together at the same point (the first bridge) and end at the same point (the second bridge). Since the sportsman swam away from the hat for 10 minutes, he must have swum toward the hat for 10 minutes to meet it again.
