Putting Heads on Beds (Cockman) - Putting Heads on Beds, by Michael Cockman (HTML with commentary at HowTo)... Tony Wood: Siberia is Melting - The corridor we are standing in bristles with ice. Thick layers of what turn out, on closer inspection, to be delicate, hexagonal crystals line the walls and ceiling. I and a handful of other visitors are in the basement laboratory of the Permafrost Institute in Yakutsk; according to the red numbers of an LED panel, the temperature is -8 °C. After a few minutes, our presence ? breathing, talking ? has raised the temperature to -7 °C, and we are ushered back to the surface, where it is 35 °C, a day of dazzling Arctic sunshine and heat that makes the skin prickle. Here, as elsewhere in Russia, it has been a searing summer, turning large swathes of the landscape into kindling. The apocalyptic scenes in European Russia ? thousands burned out of their homes, millions of hectares of crops destroyed, Moscow wreathed in smoke from smouldering peat bogs ? have dominated news reports. But vast areas of the Far Eastern Federal District were damaged too.... Jonathan Steele: Neo-Taliban - The road from Kabul to Kandahar was once known as the Eisenhower highway. Built in the 1950s, when the United States and the Soviet Union competed peacefully for Afghan friendship, this US-funded 300-mile ribbon of tarmac was plied for two decades by lorries and garishly painted buses with no concern for security. Among the passengers were half-stoned Western hippies on the overland trail through Asia. Then came civil war and in 1979 the Soviet invasion. Ambushes turned the highway into a death trap until the victorious Taliban swept into Kabul in September 1996, eliminating all security problems once again. The only threat when I travelled the highway a few weeks later was colossal discomfort. After years of neglect, the road was close to collapse. Long stretches rippled like a corrugated roof, making travel in our hired minivan unbearable even at five miles an hour. What should have been a six-hour journey took 23.... Jenny Turner: Tom McCarthy?s ?C? - For the final part of this novel?s first movement, our young hero, Serge Carrefax, travels to Klod?brady?, a presumably Austro-Hungarian spa town, to take a cure. It?s 1913, and Serge is two years older than the century. His problem is ?a blockage?, ?encumbrances? in his bowel. ?Morbid matter ? Bad stuff ? black bile: mela chole,? the doctor says. ?Your illness is not a thing; it is a process. A rhythm. Toxins are secreted around body, organs become accustomed and, perverted by custom, addicted.? The deep link between spiritual state and bowel habit was well known to the ancients ? viz the Aristotelian catharsis ? but too often since then has been bypassed, though everybody knows in their gut of guts how real it is. What a relief then when the doctor diagnoses Serge?s condition, prescribing enemas, massage and many glasses of the disgusting local water. Not that any of it works....
