...Detroit’s woes cannot be healed with a unilateral quick-fix initiative. The answer does not lie in building casinos or rebuilding the school board. Our construction efforts will employ less tangible bricks; we must invest our time, our effort and our faith in our city. If the 500,000 people I watched last week, celebrating, sipping lemonade and singing along with The Temptations in Detroit’s Hart Plaza—black and white, young and old, urban and suburban, Jewish and Christian, rich and poor—are any indication, the city...

"It's really wicked, the way you have to lie down to do it, the way the pipe is made of bamboo. You feel you're being initiated into a secret society," Sophie explains...
...darkness that allowed the gunman to commit his crime unobserved proved Lees' savior. She was able to lie undiscovered in the thorny scrub as the man searched for her with a torch and a dog. Now the hunter is the hunted: more than 100 police, of a Northern Territory force of fewer than 1,000, are searching for the gunman, but the area they must cover?a million sq. km?is daunting.
