and Julia winning the heart of America as "The
French Chef." |

The
Places in Between - In 2002, Rory Stewart
survived a walk across Afghanistan by his wits, his
knowledge of Persian dialects and Muslim customs, and
the kindness of strangers; here he writes about heroes

commanders and foreign-aid workers as he makes tangible
the forces of tradition, ideology, and allegiance. |

| TRAVEL
TOOLS |
New airline security procedures require new
thinking about how you pack. We wouldn't think
of suggesting that these items will make flying hassle
free but we can report from the field that these
things make it a whole lot easier.
Stock up on Eagle
Creek Pack-It items. Bring a smile to
a TSA agent's day when they search your bag and
compliment you on your packing skills.
