...shivers with wind-whipped chop. Just ahead looms the island city of Malé, bustling capital of the Republic of Maldives, about 400 miles southwest of the southern tip of India. Clearly visible is the low line of motorized dhonis tethered in the harbor, and just beyond the boats, a row of multistory buildings that seem to be floating like a mirage. Exactly where, I find myself wondering, does the sea end and the land begin?

Government officials say there are 80,000 known heroin addicts in the country, although the actual figure is thought to be much higher...
...days of glory in the field when I was a boy among giants. My uncle lifted me up and put me on the seat so I could ride alongside him. The harness jingled on Brownie and Pete and Queenie and Scout, and we bumped along in the racket, row by row. Now all the giants are gone; everybody's about my size or smaller. Few people could lift me up, and 1 don't know that I'm even interested. It's sad to be so old." He is only 43, but he can work himself up to feeling...
