Angelique and Robby Ledoux freaked when they found three recalled toys among their daughter's playthings. The New York City couple had already been through the pet-food recall with their cat last March, and they'd tossed out suspect tubes of imported toothpaste after a recall in June. This was worse. "At 22 months, Jade still sometimes sucks on her toys," says Angelique. So the LeDouxes sprang into action. Robby bought lead-testing kits the next day and screened every toy in the nursery. Angelique arranged for Jade to get a blood test for lead poisoning...
...hardships are made more unbearable by a widening wealth gap. The country's military leaders are enjoying ever more ostentatious lives, their wallets fattened by gas-pipeline deals with neighbors China, India and Thailand. A samizdat video circulating in Rangoon shows junta chief Than Shwe's daughter getting married in a lavish ceremony. The couple reportedly received millions of dollars in wedding gifts--in a nation where the average annual per capita income is just $225.

...their wallets fattened by gas-pipeline deals with neighbors China, Thailand and India. The ruling class cruises around in luxury cars and cloisters itself in compounds ablaze with lights, even as most Burmese face constant electricity rationing. A samizdat video circulating in Rangoon shows junta chief Than Shwe's daughter, decked out in jewels, getting married in a lavish ceremony - this in a country where the average annual per capita income is just $225. Even more galling, the junta turned a thicket of jungle into a brand new administrative capital in late 2005, a project that doubtless cost hundreds...
