...Those failings include the nine-month-old government's inability to provide much-needed development, from infrastructure to energy. This year, Kathmandu has suffered routine 17-hour power cuts, which have led to a drying up of foreign investment. Enduring fuel shortages have sent commodities' prices soaring, and the financial downturn has led thousands of overseas workers - whose remittances comprise some 16% of the national GDP - to return home unemployed. National security has also deteriorated, partly as a consequence of the government's failure to integrate the roughly 30,000-strong Maoist rebel army, still quartered in remote camps throughout...
...Dashiell, I must stress, is a good international traveler. But a nine-month-old boy appreciates a little diversion, and during my flight from Bangkok to Beijing this month to cover the Olympics, those helping hands came from several rows of Thais sitting nearby. When Dash dropped his yellow duckie, a powerfully built young man in Row 57 obligingly returned it. Another man played peekaboo, his forearms bulging as his hands uncovered his grinning face.

Before they go on sale, the items need the tick...
...timing of the successful negotiations are crucial for the nine-month-old Morales government. In the past eight weeks, 23 people have died in mining and coca farming conflicts, blockades and strikes have grown frequent, and a military coup threat was exposed, while the constitutional assembly has remained stalled because of procedural disagreements...
...tell, perhaps the most prolific pedophile in the entire history of the Catholic church, a man whose history, just incidentally, includes the abuse of a nine-month-old child. The good - if finally cashiered and jailed - father is a little vague about the details, which considering the extent of his depredations is perhaps understandable. That is not true of his victims and their parents, several of whom Berg also interviewed extensively. They remember everything, in scarifying detail. The contrast between their often wailing anguish and his pallid disconnectedness is, perhaps, the most vivid, and heartbreaking, aspect of Deliver Us from...
