  5. He's got Armenia under his skin, and we get a guidebook

    By some measures, Matthew Karanian was a Connecticut Yankee: a 34-year-old litigator in Hartford, American-born and bred. But he had a wild idea. So he took a summer off, headed for the rustic land of his ancestors, and soon found that Armenia was rearranging his life.

  11. Justice for genocide in Guatemala?

    GUATEMALA CITY &mdash; When a judge ruled to admit all the prosecution documents and expert witnesses in the genocide trial here of Gen. Efra&iacute;n R&iacute;os Montt last week &mdash; ensuring that Guatemala will be the first country in history to try one of its own heads of state for the most egregious crime against humanity &mdash; no triumphal smiles crossed the faces of courtroom observers. Some had been working toward this moment for years: two elderly women who between them lost a brother and a son among the 200,000 dead and disappeared over 36 years of guerrilla warfare and military dictatorship; indigenous Maya survivors from the highlands, where the army by its own account erased entire villages; those who spent their young adulthood in exile, then returned before it was safe to do so, throwing themselves into the tedious labor of collecting the evidence now being used against the general.
