Thus it appears that Radcliffe is flush with money—it brought in nearly four million more than it spent last year...
...dark days of the Suharto dictatorship, exposing the military's reformist claims of recent years as a sham. With the Aceh campaign entering its third week, T.N.I.'s strategy-if that's the word-is shockingly clear.

For the past six years, the French aid agency M?decins Sans Fronti?res (MSF) has trained the village doctors and midwives to treat minor injuries and illnesses with a basic stock of drugs, while referring serious cases to a township...
