...everyone has bent his or her life around the danger. Bill Briggs, 56, has been driving a Yellow Transportation tractor-trailer for 14 years. On Oct. 4 he was five miles from home, listening to a cassette of blues guitarist Walter Trout, when he heard the boom, then felt glass shatter across his face. He pulled over and found a hole near the roof. When he jerked open the passenger-side door, a bullet fell to the ground. Briggs was back on the road 10 hours later.

...reeds, and known collectively as the Bon Ton Resort, tel: (60-4) 955 6787. Australian owner Narelle McMurtrie purchased the antique Malay villas from islanders, dismantled them, then reassembled them on her 1.5-hectare compound.

Over the past year I have fallen asleep on the mysteriously stained couch in the basement design office, the white “leather” couch in the editorial office, and the conference room couch overflowing with yellow foam stuffing. Several times I’ve been awakened by the cleaning lady picking up the garbage strewn around me. My academic low points were definitely those sprints to my 9 a.m. Russian class in the same clothes I wore the day before, still getting there last after everyone...
