...year-old girl, he still has a boyish face and a loose-limbed manner. He was born and raised on Madura but, unemployed, unmoved by the prospect of spending his life in the tobacco fields, he left for Sampit in Borneo several years ago and found work as a driver. Last February, long simmering tensions between the Madurese and the native Dayaks erupted. The Dayaks, in hand-to-hand, town-to-town combat, embarked on a rampage intent on exterminating all things Madurese. The killings began on a Sunday, Ma'ruf remembers. Houses were burned. Madurese were murdered indiscriminately, often...
...Stewart. On privacy, you don't have to be Ray Bradbury to be concerned that soon every membrane will be permeable by some gadget recording, taping, filming or just watching you. Coloradans are no doubt pleased that the state plans to start using three-dimensional "face recognition" photos for driver's licenses in order to prevent identity-theft crimes. Yet states sometimes sell their databases to anyone who can afford to pay for them, and no one knows how your face print will be used then.

DIED. ELY CALLAWAY, 82, golf-equipment innovator and founder of Callaway Golf Co.; of pancreatic cancer; in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. Callaway's aim was simply to make golfers happy; to that end he designed more "forgiving" clubs, like the popular, oversize Big Bertha driver, which he introduced in 1991.

Portofino can be reached by car or taxi (about $50 each way from Genoa, but negotiate the fare in advance). Ask the driver to take you to the main square, Piazza Martiri dell'Olivetta. Start your visit with a coffee or cocktail at La Grippa, a waterfront bar well situated for watching handsome strollers drawn by such nearby shops as Armani and Celine. But don't linger too long. Head for the town's friendly information office at Via Roma 35, just behind the piazza, and get maps for a bracing walk along the shore. A short path, 20 minutes...
...torture for a man obsessed with guarding his secrets. The Hill newspaper quoted police sources as saying Condit had insisted that Levy not carry any identification when they were together - a detail that, if true, could have a connection to the fact that items such as credit cards, her driver's license and other personal articles were left behind in her apartment when she vanished. Then again, she may simply have been running a quick errand. And police, while discounting suicide, have not ruled out the possibility that she disappeared intentionally. They released computer-generated pictures of how Levy might...
