...banana crop. COLOMBIA Violence on All Sides At least 49 people died in a week of politically inspired killings. Paramilitaries from the right-wing United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia shot dead 24 men in the village of Buga.

Foreigners are expected to pay $20 rather than the 40 fee for Indians. Slouching by the gates, bored-looking policemen and Archaeological Survey of India officials occasionally rouse themselves to fling boorish accusations at anyone looking like an out-of-towner. They harass and demand identification from one Indian dressed in Western clothes. Another man, insisting he is from the southern state of Kerala, gives up and pays extra...
