...knew what it was. From the audience came a loud shout, just after the music died, “We were sitting drinking!” Not quite the right words, but certainly an apt description. Such an indiscretion never would have happened if the Eliot House bands had somehow ended up playing Memorial Church. Those lucky enough to have spent time in Eliot courtyard that night should thank the dean who wouldn’t allow...
...Keenan says he wanted to capture "the essence of the Tua-reg people." In between visits to the rock art sites, with anecdotes about jealous volcanic piles and impromptu gazelle hunts, terrifying sandstorms and quiet nights under the Sahara sky, he somehow does. Pity then that he subjects his work to treatment strangely similar to the desecration he decries. For in his book, there is beauty beneath, a vivid portrait of his embattled Sahara Man, the Tuareg.

According to Roger Graf, who joined Manser in the mid-1980s...
...swim and passage through a swamp. A subsequent attempt to get into Sarawak by rowing a dingy from an Indonesian island had to be abandoned when Manser's campaign office, the Basel-based Bruno Manser Foundation, received a call from the Malaysian embassy warning him not to try. "Somehow they already knew exactly what we were planning," says Christinet, who now works as a mountain guide in the Swiss ski resort of Zermatt...
