...Kalgoorlie's twin town of Boulder, a group of black Baptist pastors has gathered for the first annual general meeting of the Malarrpa Ministries, an evangelical outreach that services the Aboriginal communities of Laverton, 400 km north of here, and Coonanna, 180 km east, and the town of Norseman, 190 km to the south. "God bless us through the heat, dust and flies," says Norseman deacon Les Schulz. A further 200 km south of Norseman is Esperance. Here Anglican reverend Doug Murray recently returned from one of his regular 2,000-km runs to the South Australian border and back...
...Four years since arriving from Nairobi, Marumba, 48, is hoping communities like Laverton, Coonanna and Norseman will immerse themselves in the waters of his faith. "If you go to most of the Aboriginal communities, you'll find vandalism there," the Kenyan says. "Property has been destroyed. (There's been) no proper handing over, no proper overseeing."

After jumping from the latter, the dreadless Norseman hailed a cab and disappeared. (No word on whether he wore his seat belt.) Giuliani referred to the flights of fancy as "irresponsible" and "jerky" and ordered N.Y.P.D. officers to arrest Kappfjell when, and if, they find him, but reportedly, the fly has already made a beeline back to Norway...
Telemark is a palm-dampener when exiled Norseman Kirk Douglas and Richard Harris first parachute into the white northern wastes and go whooshing silently across the slopes, pursued by a gunner in a light plane or spectral Nazi ski troops. Director Anthony Mann (El Cid) makes the rest of the action, and the acting, seem quick-frozen. Too often chased indoors, Douglas confronts his ex-Wife Ulla Jacobsson, who appears eager to forgive his intervening philandering, and her kindly Uncle Michael Redgrave, who lends a touch of headmasterish solemnity, as if to prove that the Allied cause is just...
Vellucci was incensed last week when Yale announced that it had found a map, drawn in 1440, which seemed to indicate that Norseman Leif Ericson, not Italian Christopher Columbus, discovered America...
