...distance and privacy, Bono acknowledges, "My life is just a mess. When I am away, I'm not at home. When I'm home, I'm not at home. I come in when she is going out." Ali, who is studying politics at Dublin's University College, "is the dark eye," in the words of her admiring husband. "She will not be worn like a brooch. We have a stormy relationship because she is her own woman." While in Arizona, worried that she sounded a little depressed on the transatlantic phone, Bono asked his in- laws to "keep...
...kind of painting known. It is done in water- soluble pigments on freshly laid sections of damp plaster -- the intonaco. When the plaster dries, the color is literally bonded in.

When Connolly found himself armed and listening for assassins in the dark, they knew it was time to leave. Now, three years after Anderson's death, he remains ambivalent about another major documentary project. He says Anderson herself, whose voice, analytical and wry, runs through the book, was having doubts about observational documentaries before her death: "The whole moral thing about 1990 being...
...Going through his wife's possessions in the dark months that followed, Connolly came across the diaries she'd kept in 1990 during their year living in a grass hut making Black Harvest (1992), the third in their trilogy set in the wildly beautiful Highlands of Papua New Guinea. A planned book on their experience was never finished, waylaid by other projects, such as their celebrated 1996 take on the overheated jostling during the mayoral contest in an inner-Sydney city council, Rats in the Ranks.
