Julie and Pascal Munyanziza and their two children, who had fled to the south, made the journey back to their tidy three-room house in a mixed Tutsi and Hutu section of Kigali. They found all the windows broken and much of the furniture gone, but the windows have been patched and the house now bears a handwritten sign: IYINZU BANYIRAYO BARAHARI (The owner is here). "If you don't mark your house," says Munyanziza, "someone will take...
...SMALL THREE-ROOM APARTMENT in Hanoi's already crumbling New Quarter, Vietnam's most famous living author sits in a sweaty white shirt and dark blue polyester pants, his feet bare. Outside, most of Hanoi is celebrating Reunification Day. Giant posters glorify Ho Chi Minh and the 1954 defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu. The bright red national flag hangs above shop doors.

Working from his three-room basement apartment in Brighton--the headquarters of "Real Men," a group he founded in 1988, Katz coordinates the group's demonstrations while preparing the slide shows and speeches on sexism and violence against women that he delivers both to male sports teams and coed groups on college campuses across...
...brave new world for Mikhail and Raisa Gorbachev. In January they moved into a three-room Moscow apartment overflowing with 20,000 books and documents. Turning 61 this week, he is starting his job as president of an international policy institute. She is trying to make ends meet. They still enjoy the comparative comforts of a country dacha, a limousine and 20 bodyguards, but life as private citizens has proved hard, the couple told a Sipa Press interviewer. Gorbachev's monthly pension is 3,900 rubles, once a princely sum but at current exchange rates worth only $60. Says...
