...DIED. THANOM KITTIKACHORN, 92, former Thai strongman whose military regime was overthrown in a bloody student-led uprising in 1973; in Bangkok. Thanom ruled Thailand in the '60s and early '70s as part of a triumvirate of dictators known as the "Three Tyrants," and allowed tens of thousands of U.S. troops to be stationed there during the Vietnam War. He fled into exile after being overthrown but returned in 1976, became a Buddhist monk, and never entered politics again...
...drugs, including the antibiotic amoxicillin and the painkiller acetaminophen. Many knockoffs are easy to spot because of their amateurish packaging. WHO investigators recently found a fake antimalaria drug circulating in Cambodia called Brainy, a nonexistent brand.

Their resort to the repeated use of violence is intended to undermine the fabric of social and religious harmony that has always existed in Thailand. The Thai government very much regrets the loss of lives, but the scale and swiftness of the attacks on April 28 necessitated decisive counteraction by the security forces; otherwise, the lives of many more innocent people would have been at grave risk. Even leaders of the Muslim communities in the three southern provinces...
...invigorated the staid menu at New York City's venerable Manhattan Ocean Club with South American and Asian accents and lots of microgreens. He tops shrimp a la plancha, below, with micro chives, micro cilantro and micro mint, and accents a vibrant orecchiette in green garlic curry with micro Thai basil. "Microgreens are a visual representation of spring, and I want my menu to taste like spring and look like spring," he says. Home cooks can find the bijou greens at farmer's markets and specialty grocers. --By Lisa McLaughlin
