...during one of her brief periods of freedom, Aung San Suu Kyi, in a syndicated newspaper column, wrote that Win Tin's "undoubted ability and his strength made [him] a prime target of those who opposed the democratic cause and in 1989 he became one of the first leaders of the NLD to be arrested. The charge against him involved an unproven telephone conversation with the father of an individual who had been declared a fugitive from the law.

Her beauty was fading; she looked pale and wan, and even the fumbling attentions of the under-gardener in the bougainvillea had failed to give her any pleasure.Why couldn’t she forget him? Felicity asked herself. She had fled to Italy...
...Your "Back & Forth" column quotes CNN President Jon Klein as saying of the press coverage of Palin, "I don't think anybody expected the news media to just sit there and accept the Norman Rockwell painting. That's not our job." The news media did exactly that for Barack Obama. Richard Laxton, Bowraville, New South Wales...
