...Over the next year, he was the subject of a manhunt, with a reward of $15,000 on his head-this in a nation where the average person makes $2 a day. "People were walking around with guns for weeks hoping to try and kill him," says a rice farmer living in a village close to Phonsavanh, Va Char's hometown. But Va Char managed to elude those seeking him. According to his account, confirmed by six Blackbirds spoken to by TIME who helped him escape, he eventually journeyed through Laos on the back of a motorbike, disguised...

Driving to work one morning, I saw a big cougar leap out in front of my car, and in three bounds it was across the road and into a farmer's field. I have never seen a more graceful animal.

In the early 1900s people walked miles to work not by choice but out of necessity; cars were still a luxury. People tilled the fields because their farmer parents needed cheap help. People ate what they grew because it was there. Most labor was manual then, and most nutrients were natural. Preserved food was what Aunt Maud sealed in a jar. Tobacco and alcohol were available, but most of today's centenarians didn't indulge to excess...
