Nick Forster had the idea for Etown in 1990, when he returned to the U.S. after touring in Eastern Europe. The environmental devastation he saw there - the legacy of communist misrule - inspired him to do something to stem the tide of climate change. He realized - given his fundamental belief in the power of live music to bring people together - that a radio show was the answer. On Earth Day 1991 Etown broadcast its first show. "We wanted to build a community through music," he says. "The music was always the hook to bring people...
...something you’ll want to remember. There were not only fruits and vegetables for sale but also frogs, turtles, eels, ducks, chickens with their heads cut off, and exotic items that words can’t do justice. I was strolling through when I saw a vendor pull a live snake from a bag, gut it, and hand it to a paying customer, who then headed to find some fresh onions for his reptilian dinner.

...force the defense to collapse around him. Instead of forcing a shot, he'd find an open shooter around the three-point line, and flip the ball to him.

Kashmiris saw the blockade as a symbol of Hindu India's willful ability to hold Muslim Kashmir in a vise. "The blockade was made out to be much worse than it probably was," says Navneeta Chadha Behera, author of Demystifying Kashmir. "In effect it was like a psychological war. A fear psychosis...
...would be foolhardy at this point to rule out the checklight [problem] as a contributing factor," says Howard Wheeldon, an aviation expert at BGC Partners. "But it's a fairly common occurrence." Still, the fire that witnesses say they saw coming from the left engine would not, by itself, have been enough to bring down the plane. "Regulations governing all craft ensure that even after losing power in one engine, the plane still has enough power to take off," says Wheeldon...
