...Last year, I raved about this camera's predecessor, the E-300. Its ultrasonic image sensor filter vibrates to remove dust that could appear in pictures.

In 1990, shortly after Aristide was elected but before he took office his supporters had blocked an attempted coup d'etat, but then went on a rampage, burning buildings and attacking anti-Aristide leaders. Aristide's response was not to tell his supporters to go home; instead...
