...quick splash across a few bamboo planks strewn across a river and I entered another world. Laiza was very much awake, a hair-trigger atmosphere only heightened by the fact that practically every teenaged boy appeared to have a machine gun slung over his shoulder. Soldiers from the KIA's mobile brigade materialized from the sub-tropical canopy, stealthy as the tigers that prowl Kachin state. As my jeep climbed up a mountain path, I passed teenagers with the hardened gazes of men trudging toward a military-recruiting office. The number of youth who have volunteered to enlist has skyrocketed...

When they were blitzing in the first half, they left a lot of holes underneath, so I just took what they gave us.”Then, with a quick three-and-out on defense, Winters drove deep into the red zone. Poised at the 15-yard line and staring at a fourth and three situation, Murphy decided to go for broke. But a handoff to Gordon, who drove up the middle, got shut down two yards short of moving the chains...
...back to old-fashioned baths? Not exactly. "If you are an otherwise healthy person, there is no cause for alarm," says Dr. Lynn Connolly, a practicing clinician and assistant professor at the University of California, San Francisco, who has treated patients with M. avium infection. Connolly is quick to add that if you have AIDS, chronic lung disease, cystic fibrosis or an immune system disorder, then there is some cause for concern. In such patients, the bacteria can cause lung diseases, and in some extreme cases infections in other parts of the body as well. (See the most common hospital...
