The Lisbeth you know from the books (and an awful lot of you do know her - the paperback of Dragon Tattoo just finished its 36th week on the New York Times bestseller list) as a flat-chested Swedish girl with spiky hair, punk clothing, black lipstick and a bracingly bad attitude toward rules, has already been found.

...technical and security facets of Haiti's elections. A new U.N. team arrived this week and still has to be trained. What's more, ruined voter-registration rolls, which are on backup computer files somewhere in Mexico, have to be retrieved.
