Thanks scribbler--but the New Yorker site is a pretty crummy one-- and its really hard to find, and create links to back issues.. at this point most of us are going to have to trudge down to the library and read the article in hard copy, or see if a search on john seabrook finds it...

it is a wonderful article-- especially since 95% of what i knew about indonesia was garnered from menus (i like the food) and from the 1960's move "a year of living dangerously"--with a very, very young Mel Gibson-- which is pretty pathetic.

next up, i need to read some of the new stuff coming out about the Congo and Patric Lumumba-- since i know my elementary teachers, all good nuns, were not impartial about him.. all i associate with his name is the congo, and nuns being killed. i have no real knowledge..


my other obsession
