...Accommodation comprises nine comfortable twin rooms heated by wooden stoves. Exploratory treks to the valley below will also help to keep the cold at bay. So will the hike to the cobblestoned village of Ura, believed to have been home to Bhutan's earliest inhabitants.

...Leonsis financed the project himself and convinced Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman, who made 2003's Oscar-winning 9/11 documentary Twin Towers, to direct.

But if the U.S. intends to contain the twin threats it faces in the Middle East--an ethnic implosion in Iraq and a nuclear Iran--it needs help from the rest of the neighborhood, which will be easier to secure if Rice can make headway on the Palestinian issue.
