Djiboutians consoled themselves, as always, by chewing on kat (pronounced, roughly, cot), a mild narcotic leaf imported by air-because it loses its kick 72 hours after picking-from Ethiopia at the staggering rate of seven tons a day. A cheekful of kat, they say, provides something of a high, makes them care less about heat and hunger, gives a general feeling of happiness, and enhances sexual potency. A local post office clerk, assessing the future with what appears to be typical lack of concern, shifts his chaw to the other cheek and says. "If things go bad, we will...

They are singled out for close questioning at the numerous floating roadblocks that Israeli authorities have set up in the West Bank...
They named their foundling David Brinkley and taught him the meaning of goodness. When he grew up, he became a tough New York reporter. But underneath his not-so-mild-mannered facade, he was the greatest superhero of all, vulnerable to only one substance: Cronkite. And Brinkley was alone. All the other superheroes were dead or useless. Snoopy was missing in action after the Red Baron finally shot him down. Wonder Woman was working for Ms. Magazine. Captain Mantra was in a suburban sanitarium, after swearing off the use of his superpowers when he witnessed the death of his sister...
