...Leone. Sydney at the moment is perhaps the best place to be on Earth; by the reckoning of the United Nations, Sierra Leone is the worst. The average life expectancy in this tiny West African nation is 38 years. More than 100 people from a population of 4 million die each day from starvation. The infant mortality rate is 164 per thousand. Once renowned for its pure diamonds, Sierra Leone is now infamous for the bloodlust of its rebels - the guerrillas of the Revolutionary United Front.

Would that the salmon had done so well: some of the hundreds that slipped past me were so bashed up by obstacles encountered on their journey that I was astonished they were still swimming...
...part, Lazio will be forced to reckon with his image as a lightweight. Interloper or not, Clinton is a formidable, occasionally forbidding public speaker, and her presence alone suggests a certain degree of seriousness. Not so Lazio - except among his die-hard supporters, the baby-faced congressman is not known for doing much other than running against Clinton. And while that characteristic is apparently compelling enough on its own to attract hefty contributions from swarms of anti-Clintonites, it's not enough to win the election...
