...where the Mekong fans out and the land dissolves into thousands of muddy, grass-covered islands, islets and sandbars. The fact that only three islands offer tourist accommodation (rudimentary at that) tells you that this far-flung part of Champasak province is in no danger of being generally discovered - yet. But the more astute backpackers are trickling in on tiny wooden ferryboats, in slowly growing numbers, lured by the chance to do not very much at dirt-cheap prices...
...Conference of Catholic Bishops, human-rights groups like Human Rights Watch and policy think tanks like Freedom House, the D.C.-based Cuba Study Group and the Brookings Institute.

...survey felt Johnson wouldn't be a credible candidate for Prime Minister. There are signs, too, that the Johnsonian charm may be wearing thin on some Londoners - even the drivers of the capital's fleet of black taxis, once BoJo's most passionate advocates, who complain that he has yet to deliver on campaign pledges to get London's clogged streets moving again. After some high-profile actions early in his term - including the ouster of Metropolitan police chief Sir Ian Blair, the banning of alcohol on the subway, and his backing for a proposed new airport to the east...
