...Dartboard is somewhat of a cereal expert because as everyone who listens to her is tired of hearing, she has spent her life in the cereal capital of the world, Battle Creek, Mich., where cereal is not just a product, but a way of life...
...died. It took another 10 months, he says, to smuggle more batteries into the jungle, during which the community was constantly on the move. In late April 2004, he says, he started filming again. On May 19, he told TIME, the band was scattered along the banks of a creek, at the bottom of deep gully inside the mountainous Xaysomboune Special Zone. The group numbered almost 200-roughly 30 families-and had been camped for two days. In the past six months, says Va Char, the group, together with some 2,000 others camped nearby, had relocated many times...

...trip to the crater is hard and hot: 150 km of corrugated red dirt road from Halls Creek, through a flat expanse of spinifex and low scrub. This Tanami Track, if you had a couple of days to spare, would lead you to Alice Springs, near the center of the continent, but instead the amateur crater hunter turns left into the desert. Twenty km on, the rim comes into view. Its 35-m slopes seem high after a few hours of traveling in only two dimensions, but a brief scramble over the rocks puts you on the lip. A wedge...
