...Cotterill spent his first month in Laos in a hospital, where he quickly befriended the medical staff. He liked them so much, in fact, that after he recuperated, he took an apartment above the place. While living there, he got a first-hand look at the shocking dilapidation of the country's medical infrastructure. Years later, the experience would provide the inspiration for a series of charmingly offbeat mystery novels set in Laos and featuring a most unlikely detective: Dr. Siri Paiboun, the country's chief - and only - coroner...
...become part of what can be available and seen again. I was proud when I made it and now I’m far enough away from it to be proud of it again. THC: How is your work influenced by other art forms?

Vistas overflow with color. “Contempt” is a visual feast, and only one from Godard’s formidable filmography.As one of the pioneers...
...water-faucet flow, flashing his gleaming smile intermittently. McCain’s speech had the flow of a traffic jam in a snow storm, as he confused syntax and became short of breath. This stuff matters. McCain argued like he was down in the polls. On the other hand, you could almost see Obama thinking the line that made Reagan famous: “There you go again.” Running for the American presidency is unlike any other job and its application process is accordingly unique. On Nov. 4, America will not just elect talking points, ten-part...
