About the censorship you mention: I am not aware of it at all

Tuesday, 27 April: (5:15 p.m)

Dear Sabrina,

Just a quick note to tell you that we are OK.  I was at the Uni this
morning and then spent a couple of hours in a cafe, beautiful weather out, had an
espresso and a nice chat with the "boys".  Planes circling all over, could
not see them, but no one was paying much attention.  If they bomb us, so be
it -- seemed to be everyone's thought.

Anyway, the Uni is closed, naturally, but once or twice a week I go there
to see the occasional student and discuss sense and reference, predicate
calculus or rationalism vs empiricism for a while.  Very few people around,
anyway.

Today's "their" day.  Tuesday.  They will come under the cover of night,
bomb us and leave.  They will get their kicks.

The appeal by a group of Serbian intellectuals I had already read before  I
got it from you.  The very first guy who signed it, Stojan Cerovic, is a
close acquaintance of mine, almost a friend.  Some others too.  The night
before last, Vuk Draskovic, one of the opposition leaders gave a
breath-taking interview to Studio B, the only one of the opposition
channels left in Belgrade.  I saw it only last night on NTV Nis (we have a couple of
opposition channels in Nis, this one being one of them) and was rerun this
morning by another channel here in Nis -- TV5... Seems like a good omen  --
reconciliatory tone, balanced opinions, plea for peace, acceptance of UN
armed troops (!!)... I just hope that Vuk, being Federal Deputy Prime
Minister, does have some backing amongst the Serbian hawks...

About the censorship you mention:  I am not aware of it at all.  Of course
there is some censorship.  I mean you have a country that is being bombed
night and day so what can you expect?  How would any country deal with the
situation such as this one is -- allow ANY info in?  I am not sure -- the
USA are censoring everything and everyone and they have been doing so for
some time.  Let me tell you a little story --  as it happened to me:  some
twenty odd years ago I was an American High School senior who wished to
earn some money during the summer and I applied for a summer job in a little
chair making manufacture. A friend did the same.  Both of us were turned
down  -- the reason John (my friend) was turned down became apparent during
the subsequent interview -- they did not want him because he had been
reading Marx, Gramsci, Lefebvre and the such, and the Peabody people had
his library record at hand and simply did not like left-oriented people!  So
much for censorship in the States...


Hope something emerges soon.  Something nice and optimistic.

Thank you is not good enough for you.

Love,
Djordje
