...Mostly what he meets are Marion's many previous lovers, who keep turning up as they wander the grubbily photographed streets. At first that doesn't particularly bother Jack. His main interest is determining whether his and Marion's immune systems are a good match - something they can rely on over a relationship's long haul. But still, there's something pestiferous about those ubiquitous guys. And when Marion hysterically denounces one of them in a crowded restaurant, their bleak idyll comes to a crisis. It does not help that visiting Jim Morrison's grave in Pere Lachaise...
...Chen was nabbed immediately after talking with another TIME reporter, but this didn't seem to bother his wife, though she did tell us we might run into trouble from the three carloads of policemen she had seen hanging around the apartment complex. Yuan's hosts, activist Hu Jia and his wife Zeng Jingyan (named earlier this year as one of TIME's 100 most influential people for her efforts via the Internet to secure his freedom after he was arrested last year), also warned us that some diplomats who had visited earlier were prevented from entering.

But there are plenty of economists and lawyers around to figure out important stuff like that. The really burning questions are, Why would Mackey bother posting about his own company on Yahoo? And should people be allowed to be anonymous on the Internet...
...youngest being barely 10 years old. And today it represents a pastiche of identities in a region riven by multiple conflicts. The lead singer is Ethiopian, one of the front men is staunch Muslim who prays regularly, even while the girls in the band wear jeans and don't bother to cover their heads in their music videos (they do cover their hair when moving around in public places). Not the sort of group that would find a place within traditional Somali society. The rebellious spirit extends to their lyrics, which deal frankly with issues many Somalis prefer to avoid...
