...Lasting that long as a singer may be a challenge. Already, Mirwais works punishing hours, often singing until 3 a.m. and then rising late to ride his bicycle?whose handlebars have sprouted a bouquet of artificial flowers?to a dirt-floor schoolhouse that has no doors or windows to ward off the icy winter winds. Mirwais sits there with other drably uniformed boys, a bright kid with a sad smile. The schoolyard is full of toughs, and he knows better than to show off his one luxury, a new cell phone in which he's stored dozens of jangling tunes...

"There just wasn't a big enough bulge in the water to create a big set of waves," says Kerry Sieh, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology. Some minor tsunami waves were generated, according...

That additional stress may have precipitated last week's quake...
...running full speed through Orly Airport in Paris. My flight from New York got in late and I am about to miss the plane to Moscow that will carry me to Vientiane, Laos, and on to Hanoi. As I round a corner, I slip on the polished floor and down I go. I know immediately that I have refractured the foot I broke the previous year ... By the time we land in Moscow my foot is swollen and blue, and I know I must get it tended to. I have a four-hour layover, so airport officials...
