...from a waft of scalding, sulfurous steam. A chef in a nearby hotel, Jonasson estimates his kitchen staff bake roughly three tons of the sweet, dense rye bread in the hole every summer to meet the growing demand, mostly from tourists, for the exotic carb. The bread's price tag - up nearly 20% from last year - has led to some clucking from villagers that the young entrepreneur is cashing in on a local tradition. Jonasson is more pragmatic. "Who are we kidding?" he asks. "This is our living here...
...homicidal mania of the Wal-Mart shoppers in question to “a sort of fear and panic of not having enough.” How far are we willing to let this acquisitive lust take us? Damour’s death is emblematic of the invisible price tag of the consumerism in which we so readily and thoughtlessly participate...
Property-marking systems are fairly common, but few are robust enough to link a suspect to both the booty and the crime scene.

Several Congolese army deserters gave testimony at Nkunda's prompting on how they had switched sides after realizing justice was on the rebels' side. Then a rag-tag thief and a former Mai Mai militiaman were also wheeled out before the crowd to testify that his old group was to blame for looting and attacking civilians, not Nkunda's men. If anything, such crude attempts at image management only enhance Nkunda's poor reputation. Asked about how he viewed...
