...just 40 years, the waters gushed from the mountains in flash floods. By the end of last week, 255 km of roads, 76 bridges, 61 schools and 220 people had been swept away. The water then surged into the northeastern Indian states of Bihar and Assam. Poorly maintained embankments burst, and irrigation channels and dams that had been allowed to choke with silt trapped the flood on the land...

On Nov. 7, Kerry called Cahill and offered her the job without an interview. On Nov. 9, he sacked Jordan. It was as if a dam had burst.

The cycle of transmission is complete when another mosquito bites an infected person and picks up more parasites...

April sees the gardens of the Neapolitan Riviera lovely and fresh before the summer heat. July and August hold the promise of drowsy afternoons and long evenings in Oxford's Christ Church Meadows. In the fall, a permit for the Katsura Imperial Villa in Kyoto is the best way to see Japan's fiery autumnal foliage.
