...Pram didn't really do much to deserve local affection. Not only did he quickly tire of his first wife and move out, but in "My Kampung" he skewers his neighbors as dim-witted and superstitious. An ailing print setter, for one, concludes that his baby's death from tetanus has sated the Archangel Gabriel; therefore, he thinks, I must be safe from death's swift messenger.

The beautifully busty actress, on a trip to Sierra Leone to support a tetanus-vaccination project, nursed a starving baby she encountered while being filmed by ABC News. She did this, she told the camera crew, in part out of compassion for a suffering child, but also to help lift the stigma against breast-feeding in Africa, where men often think women can't have sex if they're still nursing. "So the husbands, of course, of these women...
