...Benjamin D. Mathis-Lilley ’03, a history and literature concentrator in Adams House, is associate magazine editor of The Crimson. This summmer, he is working for Let’s Go as a researcher-writer in the southern Mexican states of Oaxaca, Tabasco and Chiapas. Contrary to popular belief at Monte Alban, he is of mixed European descent and is neither Chinese nor Jewish...
...Former U.S. ambassador to China James Lilley says the whole standoff reveals the fault line in U.S.-China relations: "They have extended sovereignty; we have forward deployment." Clashes like this are going to happen until an arrangement similar to the one between the Soviets and Americans can be worked out. "This could be therapeutic, especially if it forces both sides to work out rules of engagement," Lilley says. "They don't want this to happen again, and we don't want it to happen again...
...crocodiles, and... a praying mantis? Not exactly the scariest thing you'll face as a survivor. Then again, "Survivor"'s on-site physician, Adrian Cohen, told People magazine that participants were also up against five species of deadly snakes, "all of them... incredibly mean." Which is an overstatement, says Lilley. The snakes, particularly the brown snake and the taipan, can be vicious (and three crew members were bitten during production) but mostly the problems come in the summer. The series was filmed in the rainy season, making for sleepy, sluggish reptiles who would almost certainly slink away as soon...
...Help! No One Left Me a Big Crate of Supplies Without matches, a flag almost the size of Texas, tarpaulin, twine and a knife, what does one do for shelter and fire in the Australian bush? In Queensland, where the nights are reasonably warm, Lilley says Aboriginal people traditionally used a low, semi-circular windbreak of shrubs or tree boughs "with an open fire and your dog or dogs if it was cool or cold at night. A three-dog night is really cold." One piece of advice the Kuchas haven't heeded: Don't construct your shelter under eucalyptus...
...trick with fire, Lilley says, is to use a hard piece of wood to rub between the hands, and a softer piece on the ground. "We used to do it in school," he says. "We would take wooden rulers and rub them really hard on the desk. If you did it hard enough, you'd actually burn the desk." Speaking of fire, the bush fire rumored to be heading for "Survivor" territory could be a good thing. "When the grass starts to grow afresh after burning off, all the animals will come to feed on it, whereupon you beat them...
