...electronic cards came from Blue Mountain Arts bluemountain.com) a free site with more than 1,000 animated greetings for every occasion from Easter to Nauroze, the Zoroastrian celebration of spring, on March 21.

...mind at Winterson and scream: "Just get on with your bloody beautiful tale!" These moments jolt readers back into their reality, into an annoying self-consciousness. Consider this silly offering from an otherwise tantalizing "Atlantic Crossing:" "God knows, we need what footholds we can find on the glass mountain of our existence."

But something else lay waiting in the Ugandan mist. Shortly after dawn last Monday, 100 Rwandan Hutus, screaming and brandishing machetes and guns, raided three camps outside the Bwindi national park, where several dozen tourists were just waking. The Hutus eventually seized 14 tourists they believed to be American and British and forced them to march barefoot into the hills. Only six returned to camp alive; the rest...
