...Jefferson administrations, used to be known to every American schoolboy. In February 1804, Captain Stephen Decatur Jr. sailed straight into Tripoli harbor and set on fire the captured Philadelphia. In August 1804 he helped rescue its crew from a gruesome imprisonment, bombarded the fortified town and boarded the pasha's own fleet where it lay at anchor. In the ensuing hand-to-hand combat, Decatur is said by legend--and by some eyewitnesses--to have slain the very officer who, some hours before, had killed his brother, Lieut. James Decatur...

On the other side of Sukhumvit is British export Ministry of Sound, (662) 229 5850, where a regular procession of superstar international DJs and gaggles of glam young Thais keep...
...Duke of Dubuque and the Pasha of Oshkosh who butted in front of me at the airport put their stuff on the conveyor and walked through the scanner, and something on the Pasha's person set off the alarm. A security guy set about frisking him with a wand, which irked His Eminence, as did the request to remove the royal shoes. They were put through the scanner, and his briefcase was searched, and His Eminence started to give off anger fumes. He sighed deeply and shook his head at the insanity of it all.
