...women of Cherrapunji are small and muscular, their cheeks lined with the same parched wrinkles as the wild land of their birth. Their sinewy bodies tell the story of how, six months of the year, they lift empty oilcans on their backs and trek a kilometer to a stream to fetch water. "Still, there isn't enough," says widow Dorjon Nongrun. Once called the "Scotland of the East" by the British, Cherrapunji lost its trees and topsoil after decades of slash-and-burn agriculture. Today, fruit and vegetables are trucked in from hours away. It's a scene repeated across...
...signs of ending, opposition to Arafat is spreading to the street. A leading Arafat critic, former Minister Nabil Amr, was shot in the leg by a gunman last week; reformers took it as at least a warning from Arafat loyalists. In Gaza, Arafat's Fatah faction issued a stream of leaflets accusing his henchmen of corruption and violence.

In 1977, the opening crawl of Star Wars - announcing the film as "Episode IV: A New Hope" - stoked an endless stream of sequels, threequels and prequels, some inspired only by greed for blockbuster status they will never attain. Among this summer's underperformers are a sequel (The Chronicles of Riddick), a roundup of old movie monsters (Van Helsing) and two dips into antique legend (Troy and King Arthur). Studios might have risked...
