...Sissano Lagoon, separated from the ocean by a fragile spit of sand where villages once grew, is now a place of the most primitive horrors. Limbs hang from the coconut trees, freshly tamped graves dot the beach, and huge saltwater crocodiles crawl from the red-tinged sea to scavenge on the unburied dead. Bodies swiftly rotted by the tropical heat come apart in emergency workers' hands.

The best viewing is hiding on obscure cable channels. Finding them can require not only keen summer-surfing skills but sometimes a DirecTV satellite. But hey, it's either that or spending another Monday night watching Caroline misplace a family heirloom, right after that visiting-mom episode. The choice...
