We've come a long way since Nuremburg. But a trial of Serbia's leader would give international law a test it still needs to pass

FOR THE first time since 1987, when a certain Mark Lawrenson stifled the Hampden roar by scoring the Republic of Ireland's winner, Scotland suffered defeat in a competitive fixture on home soil as the Czech Republic's superior class told in their European Championship qualifier at Celtic Park last night.

THE COMPOSER Ernest Gold's soaring score for Exodus, Otto Preminger's epic film about the formation of the state of Israel, won him the 1960 Academy Award as well as two Grammys. The stately main theme also became a hit for such pop stars as Pat Boone, reaching second place on the popular music charts - to the surprise of the composer, who considered the theme "too serious and too long-hair for popular appeal".

Heron to spend pounds 250m on Euro sites

As Britain's first war crimes trial begins, Philip Nobile asks the unaskable

Sir: A letter (27 January) referred to sport being a source of pleasure... not warfare by other means. Sadly the word sport is quite discredited.

If sport is a metaphor for life, then we are finished, as the ugliness portrayed in triumphal gestures and facial masks can only be bettered by the higher primates.

AN AMERICAN court has fined anti-abortion activists $107m (pounds 66.5m) for an Internet campaign that publishes a "hit list" of doctors. The site was certainly highly offensive. Many websites are. This one, though, was a thinly veiled incitement to hatred, violence and murder. The website's graphics featured dripping blood, and "wanted"-style posters of doctors on the so-called "Nuremberg Files". The list of target doctors had their addresses attached. The names of doctors who had been killed in anti-abortion violence had a line struck through their names; those injured were listed in grey. Truly abhorrent. In a lesser vein, Andy Sinton, a Tottenham footballer, had his phone number posted on a site for Arsenal fans, leading to the inevitable torrents of abuse until his number was changed.

Martin Bormann Sr was one of the biggest criminals of the Third Reich. His son is still living with the legacy.

The Stephen Lawrence inquiry represents a watershed in the history of British race relations. Now, the team which made 'Srebrenica' has turned it into a play. Robert Butler followed its progress, from read-through to first night

WHEN BARNETT Slepian, a doctor from Buffalo in upstate New York, was shot dead by a sniper three months ago, his name appeared on a radical anti-abortion website on the internet with a line drawn through it.
