More than 500 people filed into his plain farm cottage to view Barros' body as it lay in an open coffin beneath photographs of him and Reinado. Barros' distraught widow wants the East Timorese and Australian governments to pay for her three children's education. Midway through the funeral, an ISF helicopter flew slowly overhead. Local youths called out, "F__k off, Aussie," but the majority of mourners said they did not hold Australia responsible for Barros' death. Some, however, said...

Vandana Sarkar, whose 20-year-old daughter Pinky disappeared on Oct. 5, says she was told by police that Pinky had "probably just taken up with a man," despite the fact that...
Though she once pitched an Overheard that she herself had said, we were distraught when we couldn’t run it: Aria is just that funny. Rapier-sharp wit aside, this friend-of-many-fencers has blown us away with her editing skills and ability to make entire comp classes fall in love with...
