...murder spree that paralyzed some Washington suburbs for three weeks may have begun months earlier with a string of violent crimes stretching from Washington State to the Southeastern U.S. Police chiefs in Tacoma, Wash., and Baton Rouge, La., announced last week that the two men charged in the sniper shootings, John Allen Muhammad, 41, and Lee Malvo, 17, may be linked to other killings. These crimes, however, seem to have been committed at closer range than the Washington-area murders.

They would have you fancy that grandma is cooking in the kitchen, whipping up regional dishes from her youth, while her husband jovially greets customers out front and the grandkids wash plates and bus tables.

...sprawling grasslands. After a look around I was whisked inside by my homestay family, who offered bowl after bowl of kumys, the bitter local tipple made from fermented mare's milk. The yurtstay is not a cushy experience: toilets are outdoor squat-style; there are no showers, and you wash from a bucket. With the nearest telephone several hours away, my days were filled with hiking and horseback riding in edelweiss-speckled meadows. Evenings, by gaslight, consisted largely of food and drink.
