...that's too bad for them. Nestled alongside a remote beach stretching for kilometers on the island's southwest coast, Fundu Lagoon's dozen tented rooms offer simple, rustic comforts underneath thick Makuti thatch. Its handful of suites - a more recent addition to the resort costing another witch doctor and a couple of goats - boast plunge pools and space for private dining. Just make sure you're hungry: dishes like crab ravioli in white wine and saffron sauce or grilled squillfish, all served up by local staff, make the best of what the island's waters offer...
Mitt Romney won the first debate because he does the most convincing Reagan impression of the bunch. But it's a matter of style more than substance.

...Project and worries that New Orleans' distinctive architecture will vanish in a city still dotted with FEMA trailers. Many of the materials used to build the homes more than a century ago are irreplaceable, including the virgin cypress from local swamps and antique "barge boards." Made of 2-in.-thick oak, the boards came from the sides of barges, which were built in the Midwest but got scrapped after making their way down the Mississippi River to New Orleans more than a century ago. "You couldn't buy those materials anywhere. They would be so expensive," says Bell...
