The terrible working conditions the doctors faced in Aceh, Indonesia, the evacuation efforts of the American Navy and others, and the sheer stoicism of the Indonesian people in the face of the tragedy, is described.

Train in vain

Article Abstract:

Many residents in Northern Australia are livid at being denied an opportunity to see the transnational freight train roll into Darwin, but this was not because it was cancelled but because the train arrived an hour earlier than schedule. The train arrived early because it was empty due to which the handlers did not have to load or unload any cargo from the train but advertisers benefited from all the hype generated.
