...Connolly's account of how he and Anderson navigated the undertow of tribal life - the extortion attempts, deep friendships and, finally, death threats - tells as much of life in Papua New Guinea as the Ganiga's grim story does. When Connolly found himself armed and listening for assassins in the dark, they knew it was time to leave. Now, three years after Anderson's death, he remains ambivalent about another major documentary project. He says Anderson herself, whose voice, analytical and wry, runs through the book, was having doubts about observational documentaries before her death: "The whole moral thing about...

Last year, Bangkok ran a $7.1 billion current-account surplus, versus a deficit of $6.2 billion in the first half of this year...
...Cooper's Testimony Time correspondent Matthew Cooper's account of what he told the grand jury investigating the leak of the identity of CIA officer Plame [July 25] increased my level of trust in journalists several notches above its usual place?that is, below that of used-car salesmen. Cooper admitted that he couldn't make perfect sense of some of his notes, didn't have infallible recall and didn't know all the legal ramifications of everything that happened. He actually seems to think that he can be a little like the rest of us and still...
