Caught!--one of the world's most wanted men. Here's video of how one Bosnian man who lost family at Srebrenica reacted to Radovan Karadzic's capture and another video of a boastful Karadzic on a hilltop above Sarajevo inviting a Russian to fire a high-powered gun into the beseiged city. Still at large--the other architect of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, Ratko Mladic. Here's video on both men's horrific crimes.

It was a combative interview when Los Angeles Times publisher David Hiller sat down with FRONTLINE reporter Lowell Bergman in late 2006 for the "News War" series. Hiller had just fired beloved editor Dean Baquet and many feared that the paper's Pulitzer Prize-winning staff was about to be decimated. "There you go again..." complained Hiller every time Bergman asked about the possibility of new layoffs and cutbacks in the paper's coverage. But the layoffs continued and now this week Hiller himself is history, ousted by the new owner Sam Zell. "It's gone from bad to worse," says "News War" producer Stephen Talbot. "One of the country's top newspapers is being gutted."

FRONTLINE is on summer break, but returns in October with a new roster of programs and investigations. Here are previews of the first two:

The Choice 2008

A two-hour examination of the rich personal and political biographies of John McCain and Barack Obama that goes behind the headlines to discover how they arrived at this moment and what their very different candidacies say about America.

Heat

Facing rising pressures, big business is reshaping its approach to the environment. Producer Martin Smith investigates what some businesses are doing to fend off new regulations and how others are repositioning themselves to prosper in a radically changed world.
