Sarundajang, the North Sulawesi governor, points out that the original contract allowing Archipelago to dig for gold in his province was signed in 1986, during the Suharto years, when citizens' wishes were disregarded.

That's when the 35-year-old assumes MSNBC's 9 p.m. hour, right after Keith Olbermann's popular Countdown. Radio's whip-smart, button-cute leftie (and utterly uncloseted lesbian) will have the sustained opportunity to sell her sophisticated views and perky personality to the political junkies of cable news...
