...purpose throughout is to offer citizens of the global village a selection of practical information that is tailored to their needs, while remaining attentive to regional concerns. We took an additional step in that direction in April by becoming the first global newsmagazine to convert to all-color printing in all editions (a capability we've had in the U.S. since...
...coddle a new pair of frames are available for $50 (less flamboyant cases are available gratis, with purchase), and Peoples does the same kind of careful detail work that Coasters and fast trackers like to lavish on their cars. One Optec Japan staff member is employed exclusively to hand color each nose pad to look like tortoiseshell.

The end result, The Rainy Season, is a portrait of post- Duvalier Haiti that verges on the Didionesque. Which is to say, it has sharply observed accounts of such local color as voodoo and zombis, and a tone of cool detachment mixed with scorn for the social wreckage spawned by even well-intentioned American meddling. Yet at its narrative best The Rainy Season is the kind of world-class reportage that deserves honor as history's first draft...
