...Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, after traveling 35 hours to get here, I'm not really sure whether I'm meant to be boarding flight 9W1609 to the Himalayan town of Leh or flight 9W609 to Leh, 50 minutes earlier. The airport hotel in Delhi somehow begins to bleed into the transit hotel in Singapore. The Australian dollars I was using on Monday have become American dollars and then Singapore dollars, losing a little in value with each exchange.

...withdrew is anyone's guess, but almost everyone who has studied it believes the current rate of more than a thousand a month would spike dramatically. It might not resemble Rwanda, where more than half a million people were slaughtered in six months in 1994.

...question that's not answered-and probably not answerable-by either the video or the scientists is how well the beaten-up baby fared after the cameras stopped rolling. Certainly the right bite to the neck would have caused the baby to bleed out fast-which did not appear to happen-and the right hold on its hind legs would have broken them, making it impossible for him to trot back to the herd as he did.

...clearly everyone around me can hear what I’m listening to whenever I walk around with the volume up. That every once in a while I consciously turn the sound up too high, especially in the shuttle and the elevator in Currier House, because I want the bleed-through, and I hope, despicably, that someone will recognize a beat or a tune and think one thing or another as I walk...
