...defeated Didier Ratsiraka on an airstrip in the northeastern town of Sambava. Ratsiraka has refused to accept his electoral defeat and encouraged supporters to blockade the capital, Antananarivo. At least 40 people have died in fighting since the election in December last year, which Ravalomanana won after a recount of votes in April. THAILAND School Bus Attack Clashes between Burmese troops and rebels spilled over into Thailand and forced the closure of the border between the two countries.

Manager Bruce Abney and assistant manager Patrick Richardson work tirelessly to make guests feel at home, and if you catch Abney at the right moment, as I did on my last visit, he will recount the whole history of the Burgess House, Frey No. 2's flashier neighbor, right down through its recent sale. An added bonus: the hotel is within walking distance of my new favorite restaurant in Palm Springs, the casually inventive Johannes, where--somewhat paradoxically, considering its location in the desert--my wife...
