...suddenly seized from behind by a dozen war-painted, whooping Naxi tribesmen, borne high above their heads and marched to the thundering rhythm of drums toward an uncertain fate. At last I am released, but not yet free--not before I have autographed their T shirts, ticket stubs and notebooks. "You guys were great yesterday!" shouts one of the abductors, obviously a fan of my band, Spring and Autumn. He elaborates by doing his best impression of my head bang while thrashing on an air guitar. Meanwhile, Miserable Faith's musicians kick off their set with a groove-heavy bass...
...inhabited by a mysterious breed of lion that has no mane and eats humans as if they were Meow Mix. In one documented case, two lions stalked and killed 135 people during construction of a bridge across the Tsavo River. Joined by a rotating cast of biologists, local tribesmen and scary big-game hunters, Caputo heads into the African scrub to find the lions.

...Munich. The rest of us get some party favors too, with the release of Impressions Under Water, her first film since 1954, and the publication of Africa (Taschen; 564 pages), a book of photos taken over the past four decades. Her new work looks at sea life and Sudanese tribesmen, not ruddy-cheeked Nazi youth or Olympic sprinters, but it's still of a piece with the old: stunning images of natural power, physical beauty and fluid movement. When asked what characterizes the work, she tells Time simply, "The aesthetics...
When British explorer Wilfred Thesiger traveled through Oman in the 1950s, he did it the hard way: an arduous crossing by camel of the sand-dune seas of the Empty Quarter, the Arabian peninsula's desolate interior. Parched, starved, waylaid by tribesmen and imprisoned by local sheiks, he barely survived. Fortunately, today's traveler needn't be as tough or determined as Thesiger; regular flights now make the hop over the Empty Quarter...
