...village of Tatelu. Fecky, a civil servant with the local government, lives next door. On this sunny morning he wanders over to watch the proceedings, his six-month-old daughter Indah?with gold hoop earrings, huge eyes and a mass of black curls?perched on his left shoulder. His 12-year-old son Dedy comes with him, scrambling over the stacked bags of ore and splashing with yips of delight through the lake of muddy water that surrounds the unit, all of it contaminated with mercury...

The plane lands in Jackson Hole, and I experience the immense pleasure of navigating an airport terminal that is only about 100 feet long. Walk 50 feet, get your luggage. Turn, walk 20 feet to the pay phone. Turn, walk 20 feet to the rental car window that...
...sure the hordes will be back, but the innkeep explains that this is the dreaded shoulder season in this part of the country. The winter attractions are all but over, the summer is still a month or two off. So I have come at a marginal time for a marginal sport on a marginal budget during a marginal time in my life. Great...
