...little-girl warbling routine, but a friend recently dragged me to see her in concert and she was fantastic. I’ve reformed and am now a big fan. I recently fell in love with Keren Ann’s song “Que N’ai-Je” from her Nolita album.

The Nation newspaper in Bangkok printed a photograph of a soldier aiming at the crowd with his automatic weapon horizontal to the ground, shell casings spurting out from the magazine. Ai says she saw two men killed in front of her and immediately began to run, like the rest of the crowd, to the river, where they took shelter behind the embankment. Some began swimming out to boats, which had come close to the banks, says Ai, to rescue the demonstrators...
