...lives," remembered able seaman Rashid Juma Mwatuga, 42. In late September the Ibn Batuta, an Egyptian ship carrying cement, appeared on the horizon. "The pirates told me they were going to hijack this passing ship," says Mahalingam. "What could I do?" The pirates jumped into their speedboats. Half an hour later the Egyptian ship's captain radioed the Semlow to say that he had been captured too. The ships sailed together towards Harardhere, 400 km up the coast from Mogadishu. There, Mahalingam and his chief engineer were taken ashore and were driven 50 km inland, where they met the pirate...

The 16-hour workday filled with high stress and at-the-desk meals is the stuff of burnout and heart attacks. Even among kids, too much ambition quickly starts to do real harm. In a just completed study, anthropologist Peter Demerath of Ohio State University surveyed 600 students at a high-achieving high school where most of the kids are triple-booked with advanced-placement courses, sports and after-school jobs.
