...With daylight fading, the officers have toiled for an hour to make the fishing vessel inoperable, securing the wheel and rudder and applying a tow line. Orange life vests are dispatched to the Indonesians (most of whom decide to use them as comfortable seats). While the small, unstable vessel pitches and rolls, the officers search for further evidence in the bilge water and interview the fishermen about their voyage. They also try to explain to the detainees - skinny boys and craggy grandfathers who live on fish and a cup of rice a day - what will happen to them. Cummins wants...
...small group that assembles in Mount Isa for this June-July dig. Volunteers have previously swelled the team to a force of more than 50. This time it's just nine workers - six men, three women (plus some family) - who pile into several sturdy vehicles for the four-hour trip across rough road.

"I'm used to all kinds of hard work," Stewart said. "I'm not afraid whatsoever...
...most gifted practitioners, the kind who are proposing--and, hey, even producing, but usually in other nations--buildings that don't resemble the bland boxes that crowd most American downtowns. Nobody wants to summon back the naive techno-optimism of the 1950s and '60s. All the same, spend an hour at MOMA, and you can't resist gathering these buildings into an imaginary skyline as sexy as anything in The Jetsons. Remember when the future was fun? Perhaps it still...
