adjective clause
Nancy Paterson, an international war crimes prosecutor who played a leading role in building the case linking the former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic to massacres, mass rape and ethnic cleansing in the Balkans in the 1990s, died on March 27 at her home in Bethesda, Md. She was 56.
The cause was ovarian cancer, her friend Carrie Hunter said.

With Clint Williamson, who later became the United States ambassador at large for war crimes issues, Ms. Paterson led a team of more than 50 lawyers and investigators who gathered evidence leading to the indictment of Mr. Milosevic, whose role in the bloodshed earned him the sobriquet Butcher of the Balkans.

The 54-page initial indictment by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which focused on war crimes in the Kosovo region, was written by Ms. Paterson and Mr. Williamson. It was the first time that a sitting head of state had been charged by an international tribunal. The indictment was later expanded to include crimes in Croatia and Bosnia.

Mr. Milosevic, the Communist leader whose embrace of Serbian nationalism ignited the ethnic strife, was president of Serbia from 1989 to 1997 and president of Yugoslavia from 1997 to 2000. As he rose to power by inciting dreams of a Greater Serbia, he became the prime engineer of conflicts that pitted his fellow Serbs against the Slovenes, the Croats, the Bosnians, the Albanians of Kosovo and ultimately the combined forces of the NATO alliance.

By the fall of 2000, Mr. Milosevic’s appeals to nationalism were no longer sufficient to keep him in power. After his ouster, Mr. Milosevic was placed under house arrest in Belgrade and, in the summer of 2001, was transferred to a United Nations detention center in The Hague.
Though many people were skeptical that it would succeed, he said, “we were able in a relatively short period to bring together a very strong case against Milosevic, and Nancy deserves credit for her leadership role in making that happen.”

Louise Arbour, who was the chief prosecutor for the tribunal at the time of the initial Milosevic indictment, said the Paterson-Williamson team “showed that Milosevic was commander of the army and the police; that everything came under his command both in the political and the military sense.”

Ms. Paterson, who had been a prosecutor in the Manhattan district attorney’s office for 11 years, specializing in child abuse cases and sex crimes, had volunteered to go to Yugoslavia in 1994 as a member of a United Nations commission investigating widespread sexual violence there.

Raff shook his head again, this time harder. "Now I know you're crazy. Frogman'll kill us if we go on his property. They say he murdered some people up in Lownes County and got away with it. I hear if you get too close to his landing, even when you're just fishing around there, he'll come out and yell and tell you he's going to kill you."

"Oh, yeah? I hear people disappear on the Chicobee and their bodies are never found."

"You think Frogman did that? No way. If they suspected him even just a smidgen, he'd be down at the Clayville Police Station and they'd be diggin' up his property to look for dead bodies."

"How should I know? Maybe the Chicobee Serpent. Maybe they just fell overboard and drowned. Their bodies got carried on down to the Gulf. Or maybe they wasn't really any people at all they couldn't account for. Maybe all that's just a story."

"I heard Frogman's a pervert," Raff came back. "He does things to little boys, you know."

On Monday, the baseball season begins in earnest, and in Indianapolis, the men’s national championship game will feature a compelling matchup between Butler, the nation’s underdog, and Duke, the nation’s villain. And at Augusta National, the shrine of golf, Tiger Woods will speak to the news media at an unusual one-man news conference before the Masters. The weekend was set in motion Saturday night when Butler, the hometown favorite, earned a spot in the national title game with a 52-50 victory over Michigan State and Duke routed West Virginia, 78-57.

The convergence of these events will attract sports purists, sports devotees and casual fans who simply enjoy spectacles.

This is a sports holy week, the United States at its playful best.

Even for Mike Krzyzewski, who has coached Duke to 11 Final Fours and 3 national championships and led the United States to an Olympic gold medal in 2008, the electricity cannot be duplicated.

“In college, you are still always playing for the name on the front of the jersey,” he said. “There’s not one player and there’s not one coach who’s bigger than the college game. It just doesn’t happen.

For the Baylor women, Sunday’s national semifinal game is a lesson in conviction: achieving the seemingly impossible. Baylor takes on Connecticut, one of the greatest programs in college basketball history. The Huskies enter this Final Four with a 76-game winning streak and no margin of victory closer than 12 points.

Baylor Coach Kim Mulkey, a college star at Louisiana Tech, spoke bravely about facing a UConn team that has not lost since 2008.

Oklahoma Coach Sherri Coale, in more of a lament than a war cry, said: “Somebody’s got to beat Connecticut. Somebody has got to stop the madness at some point.”

The lesson in Boston, where the Red Sox host the Yankees, is a message of sportsmanship and respect. In a national environment that has become increasingly partisan and stratified, the lesson of Red-Sox Yankees is that bitter rivals can fight to the symbolic end and still have respect — even admiration — for each other as the great opponent who brings out the best.

“I think what we love about sports, as we do about art, is seeing human excellence,” said Bobby Fong, the Butler University president. “Those are areas where you honored the talent, not the background. We’ve got a lot to learn about being able to honor achievement regardless of race or ethnicity or ideology.”

Or size of university. On Saturday, he watched Butler earn its first berth in the national championship game.

Fong is concerned that lessons of teamwork, sportsmanship and the greater good are lost on a nation that is increasingly pushed toward specialization.
