In Suva, Fijian police, the A.F.P. and other agencies seized chemicals that could have been used to produce a metric ton of crystal methamphetamine; Operation Auxin identified more than 700 Australians suspected of using child pornography online; a joint center for police cooperation was established in Jakarta, and a terrorist plot to disrupt its opening was thwarted.

Crystal spends his entire show taking his own life very seriously. But that doesn't mean he has reinvented himself as a sad clown.
