Overnight, on a high tide, a boat has washed up on Dalrymple. Customs officer Peter Leeman and sailors Joe Homer and Peter Page take a tender to the island to investigate and find 11 stranded villagers from Daru.

Taking a cue from the cola wars, Miller has launched...
Fans camped out overnight in New York City for his first book signing. On Day One alone, BILL CLINTON moved 400,000 copies of his memoir. Later he sparred with a BBC interviewer, hung tough with Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric, and got soft and fuzzy with Oprah. By the end of the week, he may have been the most overexposed ex-President in history. But can that man sell a book or what...
