...Lament As a Burmese citizen living abroad, I have been following the events in my native country closely [Oct. 22]. In 1988 I personally experienced the brutality of the government. It is appalling what a government can do to its own people. But the '88 uprising was quickly forgotten by the international community. I am again worried that Burma's problems will be soon forgotten.

Farmers might also benefit from salt-tolerant varieties of rice or fast-growing crops that can be harvested before the devastating monsoons arrive...
...become like the Magic Faraway Tree from the Enid Blyton stories. Every so often, a new themed-land emerges at the top, a silly, fanciful, senseless thing like the Land of Do-As-You-Please, or Take-What-You-Want. Like at Harvard, these then disappear and are forgotten...
