...Former Garuda CEO Indra Setiawan?who was removed last week with the rest of Garuda's board in a long-planned management change unrelated to the Munir case?says Pollycarpus was flying to Singapore to check on a Boeing 747 with a landing gear problem, and denies any skulduggery on the part of the airline. As someone who challenged the military, security agencies and big business, Munir had many enemies. Rachland says the commission will next question officials from the National Intelligence Agency. "Let's hope," he says, "the investigation doesn't stop with [Pollycarpus'] arrest...
...scale some of the region's best-loved mountains, and you can get to the foot of many of them by public transport. Some even have comfortable trailhead accommodation. Preclimb points to remember: carry plenty of drinking water to ward off dehydration at higher altitudes; pack warm, waterproof gear; take it easy on the throttle, because ascending slowly will help you acclimatize to the thinner air; and, for safety's sake, consider hiring a local guide who knows the route and can read the mountain's moods. With that checklist complete, all you need to do is choose your summit...
...Landstuhl, their chance of survival is really good," says Lieut. Colonel Warren Dorlac, an Air Force trauma surgeon who has spent the past seven months operating on wounded soldiers at Landstuhl.

On New York's Taconic Parkway, I never had to shift above fourth gear to feel like a human cannonball and pull all the Le Mans moves I could safely muster. With four-wheel drive and Pirelli 18-in. tires, the car never felt unstable. But here's the rub: it takes every ounce of restraint not to break the speed limit in this bull...
...Walker, two former record-company talent spotters, NWA sells T shirts and bibs stenciled with sayings like MAMA AIN'T RAISIN' NO FOOL!; mittens with LOVE and HATE knitted on the knuckles; and anthemic punk and hip-hop CDs, rerecorded lullaby style. McLaren launched NWA in 2001, designing gear "that me and my mates would wear, if we wore bibs and body vests." After some initial design errors-he soon discovered that CRACK BABY T shirts weren't so popular-McLaren perfected his sloganeering with declarations like IT'S GONNA END IN TEARS. The formula seems to be working: Stella...
