Two bodies were recovered. About 30 children gathered in a cockpit in the double-decker Bulgaria moments before it sank into the reservoir on the Volga River, a survivor told the Interfax news agency. Russia's Vesti 24 television quoted another survivor as saying that the boat "tilted to the right and sank within minutes.
According to the Morning Post, "The team of Alan Morison, Chutima Sidasathian and Maseeh Rahman, former international editor Ian Young and chief Asia correspondent Greg Torode won the general news prize for exposing a secret Thai army policy of detaining Rohingya boatpeople from Myanmar (Burma), towing them to sea and abandoning them."

The film is divided into three sections. In the first, the seven people prepare for their departures, saying emotional farewells to family members left behind. Guillermo vows to rejoin the wife and daughter who preceded him to America; Miriam leaves her year-old daughter, planning to bring her over. Misclaida prostitutes herself to raise money for supplies. Good-natured Rafael, who longs only for "a house, a car, a good woman," is thrown off his own boat by "delinquents." He starts over and builds another one. As the rafters set sail, they're cheered like celebrities. The most contented of the new immigrants is Guillermo, who has succeeded in rejoining his wife and daughter. Now the "Employee of the Month" at a Home Depot-type store, he's achieved what he aimed for: home, job, family. O...

ARGUING to maintain U.S. troop levels in Iraq, President Bush recently warned that American credibility would suffer if we were to withdraw and allow a humanitarian crisis to develop similar to that of postwar Vietnam.
