"TAKING FLIGHT" Like hundreds of immigrants before them, the Bosnians who now make up most of the apartments of Bosnian Square in Hartford's South end are homes to new immigrants, those fleeing war and persecution. Keeping an eye on their daughter Amina Agic, 5, who was flying her translucent "Barbie" kite all over the square her parents yell down to her to put away the "American toy," and come up stairs because the sun was about to go down. Holding onto her little friend was Esmina Korkutovic, 9, who listens in to the parents call. In this neighborhood, the girls obey and the boys often play til the cows come home.
