...anyone who walked past, and sales were made on footpaths with nonchalant ease. "It was the height of the madness," recalls Melbourne outreach worker Richard Tregear. The drug was everywhere, and as purity rose so did the risk of a fatal overdose. In Melbourne, paramedics like Lindsay Bent were frantic. During those "crazy couple of years," Bent says, it wasn't unusual to treat 18 overdoses in a day in the cbd alone. It's not like that now. When Bent last checked his team's supply of naloxone, which is used to reverse the effects of opiate overdose, only...
Russian special forces returned the rebel fire, joined by armed locals--frantic fathers and uncles who, one general said, "got in the way." The first explosions were followed by more, until the roof of the gymnasium collapsed. Half-naked children, some burned or bleeding, streamed out of the school as helicopters directed fire at the building. Some terrorists escaped, according to police, after swapping their camouflage uniforms for warm-up suits.

All right, the good die young. Here are notes on a few plays you can?t see, and I?ll have trouble forgetting...
...stopped dancing. The absence of the tram had turned into a taunt. "We are very sensitive at the moment," said Evangelos Stathatos, a teacher. "It's this Olympics business." Stathatos was speaking not of the record $7.2 billion that Greece is pouring into the Games nor of the frantic sprint to modernize Athens but of something more personal and painful: the worldwide presumption that the reputedly party-loving, responsibility-shirking Greeks are about to screw up one of humanity's more pleasant diversions. "The world believes that Athens is not ready, that we do not know how to do things...
