...Thaksin's critics view this assertion as evidence that he is dangerously out of touch with the increasingly restive mood of the south. Since the start of the year, the region has been wracked by bombings, stabbings, shootings and school burnings.

And her reason for avoiding the local Wal-Mart--"it's too chaotic"--could be the industry's salvation. Kroger is trying to emulate the swanky Whole Foods scene in a few of its 2,500 stores by adding in-store chefs, gourmet meals and upscale wines.
