...imagine a more harrowing life, psychologically speaking, than that which author Marya Hornbacher, 34, has lived. Before finally being diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 24, she suffered through life-threatening anorexia and bulimia (described in her best-selling book Wasted), self-mutilation, drugs, alcohol and numbing sex. With a proper diagnosis and treatment came self-knowledge and a remarkably stable life. Her new courageous book, Madness: A Bipolar Life (Houghton Mifflin) delves fearlessly into the experience of severe mental illness, in the tradition of An Unquiet Mind and The Center Cannot Hold. TIME reporter Andrea Sachs reached Hornbacher...

They didn't say it, but their demeanor was apologetic - a slight sense of embarrassment that their orders were to keep their wounded country closed...
...left Bogalay, one of the worst affected townships in the Irrawaddy Delta, I noticed that a new checkpoint had been placed at the bridge in to town. Foreign reporters were being turned away, as well as some trucks laden with international donations that didn't have the proper documentation to convince the soldiers patrolling the checkpoint. Within the town itself, where two-thirds of buildings were battered by the cyclone, some soldiers were tossing storm debris into military trucks. But other army men were busy questioning suspicious-looking outsiders. It struck me that almost as much effort was being expended...
Moran, who spent sleepless nights going over this week's tips, agrees that the "ideal" way to chase suspects is through "proper, normal, investigative" channels. But he says eliciting leads from civilians is a "new front in the war" against sexual predators, one that he expects will continue to be effective because of a collective empathy for the well-being of children. Interpol will almost naturally take the lead in such cases because Internet clues as to where child abuse may have taken place are never clear. Determining the locale potentially requires a global search...
