...Within 72 hours before your departure, take your passport to Freetown's central police station to receive a slip of paper clearing you to leave the country. This process requires visiting numerous officials and can take up to three or four hours. Some people pay a local taxi driver or "fixer" to complete this part of the formalities for them. 2) The airport serving the capital Freetown sits on the opposite bank of the wide mouth of a river from the city. There is no bridge so departing visitors can take either the ferry or the helicopter...
...lazy summer Sundays, publicist Lizzie Grubman and her entertainment-lawyer father Allen would run a father-daughter errand down the road from their Easthampton home to the local Hess market in Wainscott to pick up the newspaper. (This being the Hamptons, summer playground for Manhattan's elite, the Hess station looks more like a Starbucks, but the gas pumps give it away.)

Even though Anthony does some great impersonations and some middling song parodies, this is, in the end, a talk show about breasts.

Those who pick the bones of disaster were out in force. White gangs smashed a Pakistani-owned restaurant and service station. TV crews roamed the city seeking footage of more trouble. At Lister Park BMW, looted and charred, portable toilets arrived for the demolition crew. Harry Taylor, the general manager, wouldn't say whether they would rebuild, but didn't sound optimistic. "We had some fantastic years here," he said...
...broke, but few people in Champagne-Mouton knew Einhorn, a man who spoke little French and was seldom seen except to pick up his International Herald Tribune twice a week at the village newsstand. A pile of the papers ordered for him sits there now. At the nearby police station, the gendarme who knocked on Einhorn's door wonders if ever again he will see "FBI" on the same line as "Champagne-Mouton" in the papers. There hasn't been a single crime in the village since Einhorn's arrest...
