Alcohol, cannabis and gambling "are breaking things up," Smith writes. The suicide rate on the Tiwi islands is 10 times the Australian average...

John C. Reilly has just told his new roommate Will Ferrell that he must never ever touch Reilly's precious drum kit. So as soon as Reilly is out of the house, Ferrell tiptoes into the sanctum, opens his pants and rubs his scrotum on the surface of the snare drum. Taking revenge on a hated rival: it's a moral imperative for great warriors, 8-year-old boys, silverback gorillas and the heroes of modern comedies.
