...Zhao, his fellow miners called him -- a weary-looking man, 54, wearing a yellow safety helmet and a miner's lamp strung around his neck, black coal dust embedded in the lines on his forehead and lightly powdering the insides of his ears. Last May Zhao and a team of other veterans were assigned to search for the bodies of 57 miners killed in Zuoyun County, deep in China's Shanxi province. The dead men had accidentally tunneled into a flooded mine shaft next to their own. "Many of them are very young--just boys," Zhao says, pausing to light...
...general who led Thailand's first coup in 15 years, Sonthi Boonyaratglin is projecting a deliberately civilian image. Dressed in a dapper dark suit and yellow tie, Sonthi eschewed his usual army uniform for his Feb. 27 meeting with TIME's Hannah Beech and Robert Horn.

While there was the occasional overlap (at least three groups sold fried plantains), the diversity of offerings was astounding—bright yellow mango lassi from Dharma, spicy jerk chicken from the Harvard Caribbean Club, and pillowy scallion pancakes from the Harvard-Radcliffe Chinese Students Association were definite stand-outs. So where did it come from? “We hijacked the Adams House kitchen,” said...
...August 29th, Pops passed away peacefully, seconds after the priest administered the Last Rites. As I flew home to JFK–on the same flight as Anderson Cooper, who was down in New Orleans to cover the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina—the tears ruined the yellow legal pad I was jotting Student Government notes on. The engagement party made sense. I understood now. Now was the time to cry and say how much we’ll miss him. Now was the time to weep—not when he was sitting on the couch smiling...
