From there it was a matter of improvisation--persuading someone to drive them toward Kobe, then stopping at the suburb of Nishinomiya, where damage was appalling. In Kobe, Kunii had to cover neighborhoods on foot, masking her mouth from smoke and fumes that burned the throat. One night she took shelter on the concrete floor of a school when the temperature was below freezing. Finally she was able to borrow a bicycle. The owner's stipulation: it must eventually be passed on to another needy person. When she left for Tokyo, Kunii bequeathed it to an arriving German correspondent, wishing...

He stuck a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger two weekends ago, although our family theory favors the explanation that he actually deigned to kill himself in a friend's pickup truck, but the friend drove it away before he awoke that morning. The truck happened to be decked in blue and gold, with a huge "ND" insignia painted on the flatbed--had he done it his way, he would have gone down with his ship, we suppose...did the Fiesta Bowl blowout contribute to that decision...

Much of their approval comes from the promising economic team he has built around men such as Leslie Delatour, the respected World Bank economist who has helped devise a reconstruction plan that includes selling off a handful of state-owned industries and cutting the 45,000-strong bureaucracy in half. "Aristide's strategy of stitching together society is working," says Gregory Mevs, whose family is one of Haiti...
