IN NEWSWEEK
1. The Making of a Monster

When his beloved daughter shot herself with his favorite gun, Serbian
General Ratko Mladic lost his mind, drenching the Balkans in blood. His
capture last week may finally bring justice for his victims. In this
week's Newsweek, veteran war reporter Janine di Giovanni dissects the
man behind the genocide, marks the importance of his arrest - and
describes the chilling moment she came face to face with Mladic.

2. U.S. Soldiers Mark Memorial Day

U.S. soldiers marked Memorial Day in Iraq and Afghanistan with solemn
flag-raising ceremonies, candlelight vigils, and prayer. In Iraq, where
about 46,000 soldiers still remain, 100 people gathered at the
headquarters of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, holding candles as
Black Hawk helicopters swarmed overhead. In Afghanistan, where about
94,000 soldiers are stationed and where 1,400 U.S. service members have
died since the beginning of the war there, troops raised flags in honor
of the fallen. President Obama is scheduled to give an address on
Memorial Day.

3. 20 Killed in Yemen Protests

Yemeni government forces shot and killed at least 20 people in Taiz
Monday, ending a four-month sit-in in one of the first cities to protest
President Ali Abdullah Saleh's authoritarian rule. After the slaughter,
government forces bulldozed the square. Meanwhile, Saleh's air force
bombed alleged al Qaeda fighters who took over the city Zinjibar.

4. Obama Shifts Immigration Focus

President Obama's immigration-enforcement strategy is coming into focus:
While the number of criminal cases against illegal immigrants has
dropped sharply since he took office, his administration is beginning to
crack down instead on people who employ illegal workers. More businesses
than ever are facing scrutiny in a break with Bush-era policies, which
focused on high-profile factory raids and deportations. As an example,
The New York Times points to an April 20 raid on 14 Chuy's restaurants.
Forty-two illegal kitchen workers were detained, but only the restaurant
owners and an accountant stood trial in federal court. (Thirteen
immigrants were deported on civil charges; one faced unrelated criminal
charges; and the rest remained as witnesses or to seek legal status
through courts.)

5. Hundreds of Women Report Rapes in Libya

A doctor working to determine rates of post-traumatic stress disorder in
Libyan children came across, in her work, another startling statistic:
at least 259 women who say they were raped by Muammar Gaddafi's
militiamen. The women who came forward were mothers of the children that
Dr. Seham Sergewa was treating; many wrote down their stories in the
questionnaire Sergewa distributed, which drew 59,000 responses. "First
they tied my husband up," one woman wrote. "Then they raped me in front
of my husband and my husband's brother. Then they killed my husband."

Why Mac's Supposed Malware Immunity Is Gone Forever
