The fighting and threat of suicide bombings means many children miss long periods of school. Cell phones have turbocharged Sri Lanka's rumor mill and kids are yanked from classes at even the whiff of potential trouble. Many of those who do well in school end up leaving the country for opportunities abroad...
...filthy parties in its various living rooms—most Currierites seem to.DUNSTER: Let’s be honest, generally Dunster kinda bites.

...According to Mansfield, the "starting point" would be Al Fayed's testimony that Diana told him she was afraid for her life. In addition, Mansfield wants the inquest to look into the rumor that Diana was pregnant when she died, why her body was embalmed and questions surrounding the blood samples taken from Henri Paul, the chauffeur who also died in the Paris crash, which showed him over the legal drinking limit.
