...problems will surely persist. The country is less a functioning nation-state than a patchwork of disjointed cantons. While the war's messy front line no longer exists, trade between the east and the west is almost nonexistent. "It's as if we are still two countries," says Dr. Pascal Ngoy, a health coordinator for the IRC. That division is felt most keenly in the provinces and is made worse by the long-standing perception that the capital doesn't care about the country's farthest reaches. The local administration in Bunia, for instance, says it sent about $1 million...

Idina Menzel, fresh from her Tony Award-winning performance in “Wicked,” breathes new life into her hyperbolic rendition of “Over the Moon,” reimagining...
...said ‘I got it,’” Goldstein says. “‘I know how I want to write this thing.’” Writing was one thing, but gathering information through interviews was another. Yvonne Pascal, the tortured Haitian refugee whose journey through Guantánamo is painstakingly detailed, was very reluctant to talk. “She had been a bit of a cause celebre” when she finally arrived in America, Goldstein explains, but after the reporters got her story, she dropped off their...
