...most people, the function of coffee is simply to deliver a morning wake-up jolt. But a new coffee aims to turn this ritual into a more healthful habit. J.O.E.

Since then police have arrested 28 others, including Amrozi's brothers Ali Ghufron and Ali Imron. Amrozi's trial is scheduled to begin on May 12 under new Indonesian antiterrorism laws that carry a maximum sentence...
...life, aboard a 197-meter cargo ship. She embarked in Brooklyn and cruised halfway around the world, tracing the route her grandfather, a sea captain, followed 80 years ago. She hooked up with me in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, where I now live, and together we sailed westward from Java, across the Indian Ocean and through the Arabian Sea to Bombay...
