In February, the army accused teacher Jeet Bahadur Khatri Chhetri of aiding the Maoists, beat him so badly he could not walk for a week, then forced him to sign a declaration supporting the government. Last month, a neighbor in the village of Pancha Kule was tortured by the Maoists and denounced Khatri Chhetri as the man who persuaded him to turn against them. "So now I am waiting for them to come for me too," says Khatri Chhetri. "They've already said they will...

Soak your tired feet in its flow-through system of three spring-fed mineral pools, and say hello to Hector, a wirehaired terrier rescued by manager Nancy Morgan from the surrounding desert.

...neighbors are complaining about loud music in the middle of the night. This is exactly what you would expect on a reality show about the Beverly Hills, Calif., home life of British metal god Ozzy Osbourne, wife Sharon and teenage kids Kelly and Jack--except that the noisy ones are in the manse next door, blaring The Girl from Ipanema, and the Osbournes don't like it one bit.
