...adaptation. You will make do with minor pleasures: Robinson?s walking-dead pallor as Triton (who calls himself ?a zombie in reverse?); Russell?s fragile beauty (she would drink herself to death at 36); the movie?s last words, that ?there are things on earth still hidden from us. Secret things, dark and mysterious.? Like the resolution of a Woolrich plot...
That was how this couple, who declined to give their names, got the AIDS virus. They have kept it a secret from everyone but their immediate family, preferring not to risk being ostracized by their community. "Nobody knows," says the wife quietly. "They would not understand."

Australian owner Narelle McMurtrie purchased the antique Malay villas from islanders, dismantled them, then reassembled them on her 1.5-hectare compound. You can choose to stay in the century-old Black Coral, 60-year-old Yellow Orchid (formerly the home of a fisherman), the painstakingly restored...
Third, I’d shine a bright light on backroom meetings and secret favors that too often influence legislation by requiring lobbyists to disclose and report their clients and the politicians they meet with every two weeks instead of once every six months. I would also stop last-minute special-interest riders by establishing a seven-day waiting period for legislation. This will allow legislators and the public to examine bills before they are rushed through...
