...that has room to refrigerate only two. In Batticaloa, on the eastern coast of Sri Lanka, dozens of men have lined up on either side of a bridge, watching for bodies trapped underwater to pop up to the surface of a lagoon. Six corpses are unloaded from a pickup truck. One of the Red Cross workers handling them complains that he has had enough; the bodies he has to handle are at this point so decomposed that their limbs have a tendency to come off. To the south, in Galle, Z.A.M. Fahim, 45, a restaurant owner, has found 32 bodies...
Vang came to the U.S. in 1980, settling first in Stockton, Calif., and serving six years in the California Army National Guard, where he qualified as a sharpshooter. After moving three years ago to St. Paul, where he lives with his wife and six children, he worked as a truck driver. Among the local habits he enthusiastically adopted was deer hunting, applying for and receiving a hunting license for the past four years.

He thinks perhaps he has gone off the road. But, in fact, the truck is running over bodies--hundreds of murdered men, women and children...
After farmer Monmouton sighs that he could do with a vacation in Paris, all his animals squeeze into his truck and beep impatiently. They're ready for a break too. The entourage descends on Paris and quickly fans out--the goats to smell (and sometimes taste) the flowers in the Luxembourg Gardens, the cows to gaze at paintings of cows in the Louvre, the hens to cackle at the cancan dancers at the Folies Bergère. One of the joys of Stock's exuberant watercolors is the absolute sangfroid with which waiters, pedestrians and other Parisians greet this animal invasion...
