...books about the runner tackle in very different ways the paucity of behind-the-scenes substance and the absence of telling interviews with the man himself. In Barefoot Runner: The Life of Marathon Champion Abebe Bikila, former rock journalist Paul Rambali weaves a powerful narrative through a series of vignettes. The book, just out in paperback, makes liberal use of fictionalizing devices - interior monologues, imagined conversations - that render it less reliable as a historical account, but help to capture the drama of Bikila's life.

One holds a gun and is draped in ammunition, and like most other martyr billboards around the neighborhood, al-Sadr's picture floats next...
While it was largely free of the violence of previous election years, this week's vote was not without controversy. On July 11, an opposition-party-aligned journalist and his son were gunned down on a Phnom Penh street, and independent monitors reported problems with voter registration that prevented a significant number of people from voting. The CPP's domination of the broadcast media, particularly the country's television stations, also left a gaping hole in coverage of non-CPP parties, said Koul Panha, executive director of the Committee for Free and Fair Elections in Cambodia...
