...Your special issue on the Republicans bent over backward to present McCain as an honorable man, but the transcript of your bizarre interview, in which McCain refused to answer simple and legitimate questions, was frightening. It showed a resentful, uncommunicative and un?cooperative McCain who was uncomfortable with the straight talk he used to be known for and who had a chip on his shoulder the size of a sequoia.

Even in the best of times, food is scarce in Mutiusinazita. And these are not the best of times in Zimbabwe. The farmers who eke out a living planting drought-resistant crops like sorghum in the harsh, sandy soil this year found that even when plentiful rains ended six straight years of drought, not even those hardiest of crops would grow - because the farmers had no fertilizer. Faced with starvation, villagers are now surviving off tree roots and a porridge made from the fruit of baobab trees. "The baobab trees are prevalent in this area and they are the main...
