Writing 'Massacre at Mountain Meadows'
It is a "terrible" book — and it is flying off the shelves.
In less than a month after its release, Oxford University Press is in its fourth printing of "Massacre at Mountain Meadows" by Mormon authors Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley Jr. and Glen M. Leonard.
The three authors present a dark chapter of Utah history where a band of LDS militia members — aided by Indian allies — killed a party of California-bound emigrants, including more than 120 men, women and children.
In a recent interview Walker, Turley and Leonard admit their book is terrible — not in the quality of its writing nor in its scrupulous accuracy, but because reading the book brings the reader face-to-face with the horrific acts it chronicles.
"You can't do it any other way . . . If it is a terrible story, you can't put pastels on a landscape like this," Walker said.
"It's a difficult book to read — and yet you don't want to quit reading it, because . . . you want to see if something does happen to stop it, but you know it won't because you know the end from the beginning," Leonard said.
"And yet, by going through that emotional witnessing of what happened, you begin to learn what really happened and learn whatever lessons can be gleaned from it," Turley said.
The type of book that was published a few weeks ago is not the same as what the authors intended to write when they began the project about six years ago.
"Wasn't this a two-year project?" said Turley. "It was a six-month project!" Walker said.
Originally the authors saw the book as a collection of essays that each one of them would write. As they progressed they realized the subject deserved a narrative. It was a story that needed to be told.
"We also found a lot more information than we expected," Turley said. "We did research from New England to Southern California, the Pacific Northwest to the Southeast. A lot of time was spent in the South Central states where a lot of the victims originated. And then months of time, cumulatively, at the National Archives. And the total amount of information we brought back from that was daunting. It took years to go through that information."
"It became not just a blessing of riches, but a mixed blessing of riches," Walker said. "Which is to say it became very hard to get our hands around all the information and still tell a very, what we hoped to be, a concisely written narrative that would interest the general reader."
Maintaining a high standard of scholarship while creating a tightly written narrative was a difficult task. "The general rule that most (historians) use is that a quarter gets stripped out before the final draft. But in this case I think there was a lot more than that," Walker said.
"And we agreed as we began to work together that we would not be disappointed if some favorite page or part of a chapter we wrote was on the cutting room floor, because we recognized as we were writing we were getting more information on the page than we could use. We had to trim it and set some priorities that would make the book tell the essential parts of the story without loading the reader with too much detail or too many asides," Leonard said.
"Which is why we reduced a lot of the detail to the back matter, where people who are really interested in that finer detail could find it without burdening every reader with that responsibility," Turley said.
The process was collaborative and intensive. The authors met regularly and went over each intricate detail.

One of the smallest fish species in the world has given birth at Blue Planet Aquarium, Cheshire Oaks.
The fish, a type of near-transparent danio, measures just 10 mm when fully grown – that's approximately the same size as a grain of rice.
It's the first time the fish, which comes from Myanmar (formerly Burma) has bred successfully at the award-winning aquarium and staff say the three-millimetre-long babies are doing well.
Due to its size and limited distribution the species, Danionella translucida, was only discovered in 1986. No one is certain about their numbers in the wild and there is concern for the species' long term survival.
Blue Planet Aquarium's Freshwater Specialist, Jenny Bird, said:"As well as being tiny the fish are virtually transparent and lack the usual scales and lateral line found on most fish species.
"The four fry are very small - only a couple millimetres in length - and extremely difficult to spot so we cannot be absolutely certain exactly how old they are. We are feeding them on a variety of things including rotifers, liquifry and gel diet.
"We have currently only counted the four individuals within the tank but we hope that there might be more and the females will carry on laying eggs so we can continue the success we are having with breeding this extraordinary fish.
"Obviously with species this small it's hard to monitor how they are doing in the wild. Their size and the fact they live in such a relatively small area means they are particularly vulnerable to any changes in their environment.
"Establishing viable breeding populations around the world will help secure their continued survival," she added.
The fish are part of a group that was donated to the aquarium by Bolton Museum. The museum was the first place in the world to have successfully bred the fish.

Fall is a fabulous time to be outdoors with its dazzling colors, crisp air and increased wildlife activity. Whenever I'm hiking, birding or hunting, I try to be sure I'm properly prepared. Weather changes in the fall can be quick and extreme, so I'll tie a windbreaker or fleece top around my waist in case temperatures drop or winds start to pick up. Carrying water (in refillable bottles) is always part of my gear. Now that hunting seasons have opened, I'll also pull on my blaze orange cap or vest for my weekend jaunt up Mt. Wachusett or short walk in the Westborough Wildlife Management Area. Hunters and other outdoor folks appreciate the safety aspects of visibility! Whatever outdoor activity you choose this fall, taking some simple safety precautions will make for a more enjoyable experience.

Cindy is having her sweet-sixteenth birthday--and birthdays are the one day when everything goes right, she tells us. But Cindy's dreary little world at Suds, the local laundromat, soon gets much drearier when she learns that her only relatives have been killed in a car crash with a Corvair, her cat has been run over by a Corvair, and her pen-pal boyfriend has dumped her for another girl because he got a Corvair. Poor Cindy--she tries to kill herself with a washing machine (don't ask).
But just then, two rather unobservant guardian angels arrive to save her from herself and give her something to live for--and heaven knows there's plenty to live for in songs like "Hit the Road, Jack," "Anyone Who Had a Heart," "I Will Follow Him" and "Easier Said Than Done."
Marge and DeeDee aren't your typical angels--even for someone with celestial powers, Marge has been around a lot, while DeeDee hasn't been around enough. In place of halos, both cherubs sport bouffant hairdos, and their idea of Cindy's salvation inevitably revolves around finding her just the right guy. Various dweeby prospects come and go, including a third, dashing angel (all played by the liquid, lanky Anthony D. Choice). But none seem quite right for Cindy.
As it turns out, Choice's Johnny Angel is just right for DeeDee, and very soon they will be going to the "Chapel of Love." Somehow, DeeDee and Johnny's decision to exchange rings cheers Cindy up no end, so that when Milt Dudman returns to ask Cindy out, she's permanently over her depression. And while "You Can't Hurry Love," Cindy is ready to negotiate a relationship.
As lame as the plot sounds, it's tailored to incorporate the music in neat little ways that keep the viewer laughing--and guessing. There really is a silly song to address every kind of lovelorn situation and celebrate every raunchy impulse. And part of the fun of a show like this is laughing at all the musical answers to life's little woes.
But the other big part lies in sharp ensemble performance: Suds cleans up because the performers are pros who appear to love being on stage and nudging the audience with light satire. They're making fun of the music, but it's clear that they also really enjoy it.
Mary Louise Lee has the most powerful voice and the earthiest, most stylish delivery of the group--maybe she ought to do a demo. But Choice is a close second; his "Secret Agent Man" is too cool, while his James Brown rendition is a genuine kick. Choice is a terrific comic, too--his variety of nerdy guys, an old lady and a debonair angel prove him an elastic performer. Angi Hanan plays the wide-eyed DeeDee with little-girl energies perfect for the part. She is continually pleasant to watch, as is Brenda Faatz, who makes Cindy a dynamic innocent with a heart of gold.
The music here is pretty sappy (except, of course, for the James Brown tunes). Nevertheless, there's a genuine vitality that has survived rock and roll's inexorable aging process darn well. It even kinda makes you wanna "Shout."
Suds, through May 19 at the Vogue Theatre, 1465 South Pearl Street, 765-2771.

Of course the Burmese Junta want to trade with the rest of the world, as it will make them, their families and cronies richer. And of course the extra income will allow them to strengthen their armed forces thus enabling them to strengthen their hold on power. While there will be some flow on of wealth to the ordinary Burmese this would almost certainly be nothing like that which would occur in a free democratic environment.If we trade with them we are as morally bankrupt as they are. We choose not to trade with them because of their poor human rights record etc. The root cause of the isolation Myanmar now faces is a direct result of the policies of the Junta and the fact that many countries have taken the moral high ground as regards Burma. (If only they'd done the same with others!)
Part I: Is the Current Burmese Military Government ISOLATIONIST? Some have been stating as if it were gospel truth that Burmese military government is isolationist and then attribute its isolationist policies for the delay of international aid. This is wrong in two contexts: causes and effects. It is wrong to say that the slow arrival of international aid to Burma is caused by its isolationist policy without taking into consideration the recent policies of the Western countries towards Burma and the immediate political context. Here I want to talk about the root cause of the Burma's isolation. Whether or not the current Burmese military government is ISOLATIONIST, you can simply google the debates about whether tourists should go to Burma [it wants tourists to visit Burma] and whether the trade would help liberalize the country or help the regime consolidate its power and its leaders enrich themselves [the Burmese government leaders want to trade with the foreign countries including the Western countries]. It is one thing to say that Burmese military government will NOT comply with the conditions set particularly by the West so that it is not isolated by the West. It is one thing to say that it is OK for the Western powers to set conditions for bilateral trade and diplomatic relations with them. It is one thing to say that Burmese military leaders have to comply with the conditions of the sole global power if they want its country to be integrated into the world economic system. It is a completely different and WRONG thing to say that the Burmese military government does NOT want to be part of global trade and world economic system. As undemocratic as it may be, the current Burmese military government does not practice its predecessor's control economy. As protectionist and sometime ethnocentric as its economic policies may be, the current Burmese military government DOES want to trade with the outside world. As suspicious of the West it may be given its experiences and observations of its neighbors' during the Cold War, the current Burmese military government wants the TOURISTS to visit its country. It is their opponents, the latter's state/non-state supporters and their sympathetic media that ISOLATE Burma as a punishment for its leaders' actions and decisions during the past twenty years.
Part II: Is the Current Burmese Military Government ISOLATIONIST? The very academic origin of this misunderstanding that the current Burmese military government is ISOLATIONIST arises from the expedient bundling of the two equally non-democratic but inherently different regimes into one and identifying the current military government with its predecessor. [An easy way to look at how they were bundled together would be to look at the number of years the media and academics use to describe its longevity: 46 years if the current military government is taken as the same with its predecessor the one-party socialist state and 20 years if they are taken as different. We Burmese except the much politicized ones, usually count the longevity of the current military government as 20 years SO FAR.]The first non-democratic regime of Burma was established in 1962 during the Cold War and lasted until 1988. It is a one-party state government with state-managed, centrally-controlled, economic policy. It also attempted to practice the import substitution policies as prevalent among many countries in the 1960s and 1970s. Partly to avoid being part of the Cold War, partly to prevent itself from being dragged into the Cold War as many Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, even Thailand and Indonesia were during the Cold War, the Burmese government of the time practiced the non-aligned, isolationist policy. However, the one-party socialist state was completely discredited in the mid 1980s, partly because of its own policies of demonetization (declaring all the large monetary notes null and void) and partly because of the gradual emergence of the weaknesses of the socialist/communist economy and partly because of the population's pressure for change. Three leaders of the socialist party state resigned or were ousted one after another within a few months (like three Argentinean presidents recently amid the economic crisis) and the protests continued and the population was confronted with the Hobbessian dilemma: anarchy or else. The Burmese military took control of the state and, although unwillingly at the beginning, the population exchanged the return to the normalcy for a non-democratic regime in 1988. Although both regimes are non-democratic in nature, the newly installed military government changed the economic policy and opened up its economy. Yes, its economic policies are not as open as the neo-liberal economists think they should but still, they are more open than the one-party socialist state with state-managed, centrally-controlled, economic policy.
Burma doesn't just need equipment or materials. It needs something more abstract: skills, capability and coordination. What good is helicopters and heavy equipment if you don't have the people, skills and infrastructure to use, maintain and support.The US could give Burma a hospital ship and an aircraft carrier full of helicopters, and the Burma government wouldn't know what to do with either. No skills, no know-how and probably no money.
Yesterday I watched "TOTAL denial" documentary movie - now the attitude of military regime to local people is not a surprise. It's so sad that there are still places in the world where people are treated as slaves. Why Saddam was a good reason for USA to rush into Iraq, but nobody does anything about the regime in Burma?
It is not a good idea to bomb the Junta. Too many inocent people will be killed. Rest assured that the Junta which is the worst example of a Pariah Government is on its way out.The holocast is not about to happen: it is already well advanced and the souls of the dead will haunt the Junta and their supporters for the rest of their miserable lives.
@nyeincDoes the term astroturf mean anything? Your posting history raises some eyebrows.Anyway, the USS Essex and its 23 transport helicopters are ready to fly and drop aid off in Burma from a staging area in Thailand. So far, only one US cargo plane has permission to fly.Whatever your opinion of President Bush is, the Indonesians certainly didn't have any problems accepting aid from the U.S. Navy. Things are in such a mess that the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon can't even get Burma's leaders on the phone.
The latest news is that the Burmese military government seized the UN aid. This news is damaging to the Burmese military government's image, to the delight of its opponents and their state/non-state supporters. What is missing in the news (particularly headlines) on the other hand, the Burmese military government allowed the other UN aid into the country. So, the government and UN should clarify without spin why the aid from that particular plan was seized. Is it because of high-energy biscuits? Then, the government should allow UN to distribute the relief materials on their own plan, other than biscuits. The major food items World Food Program brought is high-energy biscuits. WFP is good with their own reasoning: the storm victims won't have means (charcoal or firewood and utensils) to cook. So, the biscuits will be easier and ready to eat. On the other hand, a little bit of local knowledge should tell them that Burmese don't eat biscuits for meal. When they say "we need food", they mean RICE. So, here are a few scenarios that can happen. The victims will eat biscuits as snaps and continue to complain that they don't have food. Second, they will give biscuits to children and the children will end up hyperactive the entire time. Third, the biscuits will be sold back into the market (to buy rice) and you are going to find it scandalous.I hope that the biscuit-crisis will end soon and both sides will learn some lessons from this biscuit-crisis: UN not to send biscuits and Burma clarify immediately its actions and decisions.
This is an update (00:20 p.m. EST, May 9, 2008) on international humanitarian aid. In order to minimize the waste (realistically towards less than 15%) I will also keep track of international donations (revenue side) and will also ask the people on the ground to kept track of spending (expenditure side). The total pledged aid so far is 49.0006 millions. You should also take note that the pledged amount of aid may be different from the actual amount.

What I hear is that UN staff asked Burmese government how much funds should be released from UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and the Burmese government representative responded $ 5 millions, probably minding about the amount of their appropriation for disaster relief: 5 billion in Burmese currency, which can be converted to 5 million U.S dollars approximately. They seemed to think that they should not ask the countries with trillion-dollar annual GDP for an amount more than the amount they allocate (with less than 10 billion dollar annual GDP). Our folks are like that and they will always be like that.
Helping Burma and Getting VisaSome INGOs are requesting that the Burmese government waive the visa (completely) for their staff. This is not going to happen.The following is what can be done to expedite the process without scrapping it all together. First, the Burmese Embassies around the world will make the visa application of the INGO staff the first priority. Keep the consulate open even for the holidays and weekends. (The delay caused by the holiday closure of Burmese Embassy in Thailand in occasion of a Thai Holiday should and would not be repeated.)Second, the INGOs should screen their own staff, and have their staff signed the customary pledge form. Their mission into Burma is relief and humanitarian assistance for the Cyclone victims, not for political purposes and not for referendum monitoring. Thirdly, since some INGOs are better than others in getting their staff disengaged from politics in Burma, the visa application for the staff of the INGOs with better track records should take less time and, if possible, be done within a single day. I hope that although the visa application process of INGOs staff cannot be waived, it could be expedited. (Except for those in Thailand, INGO staff cannot leave the home base in one day anyway.)If the visa application process take only one day, and some INGOs still insist on visa waiver – right before the referendum on May 10 – some might begin to wonder why those INGOs are insisting on visa waiver. The ongoing problem is NOT that the international aid teams "are bogged down by a bureaucracy still reluctant to open its borders to foreigners." The Burmese Embassies around the world are willing to expedite the visa process (within a day) but the INGOs didn't screen their aid workers. Some journalists, political activists and referendum monitors MAY be camouflaging as aid workers. So both sides must work their best for the sake of Burmese people. INGO should screen the aid workers they are going to send into the country. Burmese Embassies should make visa decisions with their full capacity within one day. (Notice that I didn't say that they have to issue visa to aid workers but I simply said that they should make visa decisions quickly: within 24 hours).
According to the official accounts -- as of 5:47 p.m. New York Time, May 13, 2008 – 38,491 people died and 27,838 people are missing. (An increase in the number of deaths without a decrease in the number of the missing from the earlier count indicates that some 4,000 people might have died from the events beyond the earlier figures covered.) It is Shari Villarosa, the top U.S diplomat in Burma, who first estimated the death toll to be around 100,000. U.N. humanitarian chief John Holmes [followed Villarosa's counts and] also reported the same number for the affected population. He said the death toll could be "in the region of 100,000 or even more." (Associated Press, Rangoon, Burma, Red Cross: Burma cyclone death toll could go up to 128K, May 14, 2008 via USA Today) Red Cross gave its number around 128,000 deaths. (Associated Press, Rangoon, Burma, Red Cross: Burma cyclone death toll could go up to 128K, May 14, 2008 via USA Today) Sam Worthington … said … that the number of dead could be as high as 200,000. (Amy Kazmin and Colum Lynch, Washington Post Foreign Service, May 13, 2008; Page A11)So, if the death toll isn't as high as 200,000 or even 100,000 and you make your donation because 200,000 died NOT because 38,000 people died, you should blame Shari Villarosa, John Holmes, Sam Worthington or Red Cross, certainly NOT the Burmese military government. Even without inflating their figures, some are already inclined to allege that the undemocratic, Burmese military government might inflate the death toll in order to attract the international humanitarian aid. Its past behavior during Tsunami would vouch for its character and, I hope, would calm your concerns a bit. Since the earthquake causing Tsunami shakes in the east-west direction and Burma is located to the north far enough, the death toll wasn't high. The Burmese military government said so and kept its hands away from billion-dollar aid packages. As far as I know, Villarosa got her numbers from a politician of a party opposing the Burmese military regime. Another possible source is WFP local staff, who estimated the death toll to be around 50,000 after visiting a devastated town. It doesn't mean that their numbers are wrong. It doesn't mean that their numbers are impossible. It only means that they will have to take responsibility for their own figures. "The Red Cross said it arrived at the figure by pooling and extrapolating assessments by 22 other aid groups and organizations in 58 townships. The total affected population is estimated to be between 1.6 million and 2.5 million, it said." (Associated Press, Rangoon, Burma, Red Cross: Burma cyclone death toll could go up to 128K, May 14, 2008 via USA Today) Pooling and extrapolating figures are OK for the figures of cyclone-affected population. It would be too error prone to estimate the death toll. The body count is the best and most substantiated way. Those who want to help Burma might think that the higher death toll the media reports, the larger amount of international humanitarian assistance comes in. [Those who want to corner Burmese military government might think that the higher death toll the media reports, the more pressure piles up on the military government.] But it is very short-sighted and ugly to do so. So, please beware of the numbers you cite to make a judgment, be it to donate, be it to blame anyone. I said so because I smell trouble with very high death toll. I will figure out why, hopefully soon. Those who estimated higher casualties caused by Cyclone in Burma should take responsibility for their own estimates. The blame shouldn't fall onto the Burmese military government that will lose the popularity contest anyway (even to President Bush).
The junta in Myanmar has to be taken responsible for denying international aid. This is no better than crimes against humanity by Ratko Mladic, Charles Taylor or others. However, if only the ICC was fully functinal...
It's enough to see the puctures, for examples, http://pik.org.ua/news/2008/5/13/211285.htm to understand how dare the situation is. Why not intervene then, some people ask now. Well, it's only war that the Burmese need, cetrainly.
How do you expect the Burmese military regime to allow a free media and allow foreign media into the country to cover the disaster situation and relief operations if your media has been giving nothing but the hostile coverage on them like Fred Hiatt did with his op-ed "In Burma, a U.N. Promise Not Kept, Washington Post, May 12, 2008; Page A19" ?This is not the only opinion editorial hostile Fred Hiatt wrote. It is not for the sake of the cyclone victims that Fred Hiatt has called for the overthrow of Burmese government. The following are the list of hostile op-ed he wrote throughout the past decade or so. It appears that it is Fred Hiatt who wrote most Washington Post editorials too. He is the reason why I said that Washington Post is so close and cozy with the regime opponent lobbyists that it publishes the news, articles, op-ed, editorials based on the information fed by the regime opponent lobbyists, in addition to the wire news. That would be great if someone with a little knowledge of lexicography compare Fred Hiatt's op-eds and Post editorials with the press releases and publications of Burma lobby in Washington, US Campaign for Burma, previously known as Free Burma Coalition. 1.

Part V: Terrain is Quite Clear but One More Thing to DoWhat if the West's warnings are not serious or taken seriously and the regime opponents would nonetheless capitalize on the presence of international aid workers and make another attempt at people's power revolution? The Burmese government will, euphemistically speaking, restore law and order even at the presence/risk of the international aid workers and even at the face of the severe consequences later. So, if we can get one more thing done and I think we need to, I am pretty sure (not absolutely sure though) that the Burmese military government will invite the international aid workers so that their people could be helped faster and more effectively with better technology and more specialized knowledge. On the other hand, given the sparse knowledge of the international aid workers on local situation, like sending biscuits to storm victims and bringing in malaria drugs for the population in our delta region where the malaria has seldom taken root, the Burmese government might think that it is better to rely upon the domestic manpower. (I am just giving them a way out without losing face, in case they miss.) Nonetheless, if the West can somehow guarantee that the regime opponents won't take advantage of the presence of the international aid workers and make another attempt at the regime change by people's power revolution, I think that it is better to have more helping hands and, hopefully, less negative media coverage.
Part IV: Terrain is Quite Clear but One More Thing to DoOne more thing can be and need to be done in order to make the Burma's political climate less poisonous and make its risk-averse leaders more willing to allow the international aid workers in. The Western governments will have to sternly tell its opponents not to take advantage of the presence of aid workers and not to make, during the relief operations, another attempt at people's power revolution, and so doing could harm the international aid workers. Better yet, the Western governments can sternly tell the regime opponents what the consequences would be. The regime opponents have lost a lot of ground in Burma; they are relying mostly on their state/non-state supporters and sympathetic media in the West for their cause; therefore, they will most likely take their worthy allies' position into consideration if such position is clearly and sincerely taken. On the other hand, the regime opponents might have never intended to take advantage of the presence of the international aid workers and make another attempt at the regime change by people's power revolution. (I am just giving them a way out without losing face, in case they miss.) Thus, on their own accord, the regime opponents will NOT make another attempt at the regime change by people's power revolution for the sake of their fellow Burmese cyclone victims, not due to position of their Western allies.
Part I: Terrain is Quite Clear but One More Thing to DoSome might want to point out that the Burmese military government should accept the international aid workers even if it does NOT accept the U.S warships and military aircrafts. Since the referendum is over on Saturday, it is more likely to invite the international aid workers now than before. But we need to know the and reason to see if we can find a workable solution. The constitutional referendum was scheduled (and held) on May 10. The Burmese military government wants the draft constitution ratified. Its opponents want the draft rejected (if possible, the referendum disrupted). U.S, France and Western countries support the regime opponents. U.S House of Representatives went so far as taking jurisdiction over the draft constitution of another country and passing a concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 317), calling the Administration and UN to reject the referendum (process) and draft constitution (outcome). The military government's possible concern was that its opponents might covertly plan to start the protests, politicizing the sufferings of the cyclone victims and capitalizing the presence of international aid workers. In fact, the regime opponents took their first step by spreading the news that the public is angry at the military government and maligning the latter by accusing it of slow response. David Montero predicts in Christian Science Monitor that "Disaster May Loosen Junta's Grip in Burma" (May 8, 2008)
Ben Reffell wrote on May 11, 2008 at 23:42Of course the Burmese Junta want to trade with the rest of the world...Ben, then you can longer characterize the Burmese government as isolationist. It would be wrong, wouldn't it? It didn't choose to isolate itself or its country or its people. The western nations and their leaders DO isolate Burma to punish them.
Part III: Is the Current Burmese Military Government ISOLATIONIST? As for the foreign policy, the current Burmese military government faced more serious challenges than its predecessor although they both are non-democratic in nature. The Administrations of Reagan and later Bush I stopped giving foreign aid to Burma, in protest of its Tiananmen-style crackdown of protestors in 1988. The Burmese military regime promised to hold elections and it did in 1990. Although its critics judged the 1990 elections as NOT free and fair, they changed the verdict to FREE and FAIR after the results were known and the regime opponents' party won approximately 80 percent of the single-member plurality districts with 60 percent of the votes in the elections. Then, a dispute followed between the Burmese military government and its opponents about what the elections were intended. Are 1990 elections the constituent assembly elections to draft a constitution or the parliamentary elections to transfer the state power to the winning party? The Burmese military government said the former and its opponents claimed the latter. (That dispute was still going on to date.)The regime opponents attempted to force their will upon the Burmese military leaders for a while in their attempts to call for a parliamentary session with the representative-elects but they didn't execute their plan to the end and of course, it is finally the guys with the guns whose will prevail. If the 1990 elections are intended for drafting a new constitution and convening a constituent assembly, why did the Burmese military government proceed so? It is because, by that time, its relationship with its opponents has deteriorated very badly. Its opponents have contemplated about removing all Burmese military officers above the rank of colonel, charging them in the International Criminal Court (as they have been voicing that idea whenever they were in anger) and leaving the fate of the regime leaders at the hands of the public (a la Bastille). That is not to mention that, if the constituent assembly were convened with the representative elected in 1900 elections, the regime opponents would have got all their way because of their 80 percent majority. So, a Constitutional Convention was convened with other participants in addition to the representatives elected, diluting the latter's say in the draft constitution. Nonetheless, the regime opponents participated in the constitutional convention, a pretty restricted one as many things in Burma were. However, its supremo (Daw) Aung San Suu Kyi cannot accept the regime-sponsored constitutional convention, neither its process nor outcome and persuaded her party representatives to leave the constitutional convention. The convention continued for a few months but was later postponed indefinitely until it was reconvened again in 2004.
Part IV: Is the Current Burmese Military Government ISOLATIONIST? The draft constitution we voted yesterday in the referendum is a product of the regime-sponsored constitutional convention (process) and that is one of the reasons why the regime opponents were completely against it without contrasting it with the alternative paths with heavier costs, and higher risks. Of course, by the time, the 1990 elections were over and the dispute between the Burmese military government and its opponents began about the intent of the elections, the Berlin Wall has fallen, the Soviet Union collapsed and the Cold War was over. Consequently, the Western powers, particularly the United States, no longer need to accommodate a lot of non-democratic governments and thus began its policies of punishing the Burmese government for the latter's acts and isolating it as a punishment. US has imposed an investment ban on Burma since 1997. U.S also has imposed trade embargo on Burma since 2003. It is attempting to prompt UN Security Council to pass a binding resolution first and, if the Burmese military fails to comply, a punitive resolution, usually sanctions, thus further isolating the country. This is a brief version (my version) of Burmese History 101 in two pages and I am sure that I left out a lot and miss a lot. One thing for sure though, I don't twist and tweak in order to make you buy into one ideology or another, one action or another. Why is it important to know Burma's history? If you know the background of the country you are dealing with, you will NOT be placing all the decisions and actions of the Burmese military government on its isolationist policy and completely place the burden on its shoulders, leaving out what you can DO to help the cyclone victims. You can also avoid the mistake that the First Lady Laura Bush did with all her good intentions and good will toward Burmese cyclone victims and the very mistake U.S foreign policy makers have been committing during the past twenty years. I welcome your challenges and criticisms.
What disaster management materials can U.S give in the most efficient, effective and inrefusable way? Heavy machineries to remove trees, to rebuild roads and to reconstruct homes. It is easier to keep track of those machineries because they are too big and finite numbers to disappear. U.S produces those machineries at home and it will largely keep the money at home.

The view, the air, the everything (most definitely including the fresh seafood) were perfect and exactly what we needed! The house is very much like a home, spacious and airy but also cozy and welcoming. We were extremely comfortable...could have stayed much longer!
Thank you so much for introducing us to your corner of heaven on earth! Not to mention Goats on the Roof!

HARTFORD, June 25— After narrowly losing the 1994 race for governor, William E. Curry Jr. got what he described as the best consolation prize a failed Democratic candidate could imagine: he was hired by the White House as a domestic policy adviser. Now he is back in Connecticut and ready to challenge Gov. John G. Rowland, the Republican who defeated him in 1994.
It is an uphill battle for Mr. Curry against a strong incumbent who has already amassed a sizable war chest. Mr. Curry is not even the clear Democratic choice, with several other prominent politicians, most notably Representative Barbara B. Kennelly, also considering a run.
But in an interview, Mr. Curry, a 45-year-old lawyer, insisted that he has returned to Connecticut a stronger candidate.
''I've had plenty of time to reflect on what I did right and what I did wrong,'' he said. ''Working with the President of the United States on a host of national issues has taught me a great deal, and I can't imagine that there's a better place to learn about governing.''
And to make contacts.
While Mr. Curry played down the political benefits of working at the White House, where he was Dick Morris's right-hand man, he conceded, ''I've met a number of people in the Democratic Party whom I never otherwise would have met, who are ready to help and will take an interest.'' For instance, Mario M. Cuomo attended a fund-raiser for Mr. Curry last year to help him retire debt from his last race.
The stint in the White House may also help Mr. Curry dispel the liberal label Mr. Rowland tagged him with in the last election. Although Mr. Curry ran as a ''New Democrat,'' many in the state viewed him as the candidate of labor unions and liberal special interest groups.
But in the White House, Mr. Curry was one of the aides who pushed Mr. Clinton to take a more centrist course, and was a prominent advocate for the President to offer a balanced budget that included cuts in social programs, a move that many liberal Democrats decried.
Mr. Curry attributed his loss last time to his being in a four-way race. One candidate, former Lieut. Gov. Eunice Groark of A Connecticut Party, won 19 percent of the vote, and Mr. Curry said that in a two-way match-up with Mr. Rowland, those votes would come back to the Democrat, a point Republicans dispute.
In 1994, Mr. Curry lost to Mr. Rowland, 33 percent to 36 percent. A poll of 500 voters by The Hartford Courant this month showed that while 37 percent of those polled wanted to see Mr. Rowland re-elected, 44 percent would like to see someone else. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.
There is little question that Mr. Rowland will be a formidable candidate. Since he has taken office, the state economy has rebounded, adding at least 50,000 jobs, and Mr. Rowland has said his policies of cutting taxes and holding the line on spending are largely responsible.
While Mr. Rowland has not formally announced his candidacy, aides said he will have raised at least $1 million for the race by July.
Mr. Curry, a former state comptroller and state senator, is expected to establish his campaign committee as early as next week. Other Democrats, like the Speaker of the State House of Representatives, Thomas D. Ritter, and Mayor Joseph Ganim of Bridgeport, are weighing runs, though the biggest obstacle would be Ms. Kennelly, whom The Courant's poll showed as being in a virtual dead heat with Mr. Rowland if a race were held now. All other candidates, including Mr. Curry, trailed Mr. Rowland by at least 18 percentage points.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel ZaZa Houston
Una relajada estancia
Me aloj� en el ZaZa para asistir a una conferencia que se celebraba all�. Como siempre, me esperaba estar de negocios y me llev� una agradable sorpresa al sentirme como en unas vacaciones. El servicio era impecable; todo el mundo est� dedicado a asegurarse de que tuvieras una tranquila y agradable estancia. Las habitaciones son lujosas y aunque acaban de abrirlo hace apenas un mes, van por muy buen camino.
Fabulous Hotel!
Considering that I grew up in Houston, I never knew what a fabulous "vacation" I could have in my hometown, thanks to Hotel ZaZa. Since I live/work overseas, I wanted to book a nice hotel for my visit to Houston, and I was very lucky to have come across this hotel before it even opened. From the initial booking, the service was impeccable! Originally, I booked for a petit King, but due to change of plans I needed a bigger room. When I contacted the hotel through email, not only did they graciously oblige, they also gave it to me for the same rate as the petit King.
From the moment we arrived, the staff was more than accommodating. They went above and beyond most 5 star hotels in getting us what we needed. The hotel was extremely stylish, the rooms beautiful, and the amenities were also a perfect touch. We loved the unique small pillows, the Bulgari bathroom sets, the 42" screen plasma TV!
We spent the last day at the pool after we had already checked out, and the atmosphere and surroundings are like you are in some vacation hot spot. The pool is a bit small, but the surrounding more than makes up for it. The pool area also has private outdoor bungalows that are beautifully decorated.
My experience at Hotel ZaZa was one of my best stays in a hotel.
The only thing I think they could work on is the service at their bar/lounge. The service was extremely slow. We must have waited about 30 minutes for someone to even come to our table. Other than that, I thought their overall staff and service were magnificent!
Worst Hotel Experience EVER!
Be careful of this so called swanky hotel.. It was apparent to me after visiting Hotel Zaza Houston that they are not what they claim to be. They charged my credit card $3,450.00 in room damages because they said I dirtied their couch with a glass of water. They charged me $1900 in cleaning fees for a few towels and some bed linens and the worst part is they don't respond to any of my calls or emails. It was the worst experience ever including this. We purchased a Splendido Suite which was not ready by our 3:00PM check in so they made us wait in the lounge for 2 hours with no free drinks. Once we arrived at our room, we come to find out that our mini bar is completely empty. No one ever came up in 2 days to refill the mini bar from the last person who stayed.
Service was horrific. Our bathroom over looked another condominium building and the shower had a huge window where everyone can see into the shower from the opposing building. When we asked for a room change, they stated there were no rooms available. Come to find out when I asked the service technician to fix our air conditioner that the hotel is only half full. They lie, and play games and we will never go back to this hotel ever.
Good for Houston, but needs finishing touches
Stayed in a fantstico suite for one night for a birthday on the 30th, the hotel is a drastic improvement from the Warwick and a new style for Houston - but does not yet meet the standards of top hotels in other cities. The suite was large and the decorating was nice, but the execution was incomplete. The CD player was missing, the mini bar was a Wal Mart refrigerator that spilled all the contents when you opened the door and the finish was not complete. The light fixtures were loose, grout still on the widow and general puch out from the construction incomplete. The staff tries very hard, but you can tell they have not worked in even a four star hotel before. We had several people visit for the evening, the hotel made us come down to allow some people up to the room and others had no problem geeting into the hotel and up to the room. We ordered room service twice for different groups and it also was inconsistant at best - from not knowing their own menu, forgetting the order and not calling back if a dish was available, it was far below the standard set by the property. Overall the hotel does not yet meet the standard of a Ritz Carlton or even a JW Marriott - much less an independent luxury hotel. In the past six months I spent a week traveling the California cost and ten days in France - The ZaZa was below the standard of all hotels visited on both trips.
In addition, I had a friend rent a "Magnificent Seven" suite Friday night for the Police concert - but the air conditioning did not work in the suite - more than a inconvenience for a $1,200.00 suite
We were moving out of our Houston home and needed somewhere to stay for one night. We were so tired and run down from the move--Hotel Zaza was the perfect place to feel pampered and rested.
What I loved most about this hotel is that everything is so new and clean. I am sort of a germ freak when it comes to hotels but I felt totally at ease at this hotel.
We stayed in a Petite King. It was so lovely. Great Bulgari toiletries. Very comfortable bed with clean, fresh, soft, linens. The room was more like average sized- not really petite.I t was really the perfect size for my husband and I for one night.
I got to spend some time at the beautiful pool on Sunday afternoon. It was not too crowded. I think the hotel's goal is to make the pool area an "urban retreat." I see what they are trying to accomplish with all the cool cabanas (flat screen tv's, hip furniture) and the bar- but I am not sure how they will pull it off when there are people with kids staying at the hotel- kids always want to play in the pool and no matter what their playing/running/splashing will take away from the hip/cool/adult vibe they are trying to create. I winessed this myself firsthand.
All in all this is an awesome hotel for people who enjoy an very modern/hip/cool/chic atmosphere.
The only things that I thought were a little strange were the mannequins (very artsy) in the lobby and I was a bit annoyed by the framed portrait of J-Lo in my room....other than that- its a great place!
Das ist ein Hotel!
Dies ist wirklich ein wundersch�nes Hotel! Die Zimmer sind sch�n und stilvoll. Unser Einchecken verlief reibungslos und der Portier hat mit uns eine kleine Tour durchs Hotel gemacht.
Das Beste am Hotel ist das Monarch Restaurant. Das Essen kann wirklich mit nichts anderem in Houston verglichen werden. Kreativ und voller Geschmack. Das Restaurant war voll und trotzdem war der Service hervorragend. Ich hatte den Heilbutt und meine Frau den Lachs und beide waren k�stlich.
Ich kann das Hotel jedem weiterempfehlen.
This is the Place
This is such a nice hotel!!! The rooms are pretty & stylish. Our check in was smooth & the bell men gave us a mini tour of the hotel.
The best thing about this hotel is the Monarch restaurant. The food is like no other I have had in Houston. Creative yet flavorful. The restaurant was very busy but the service was great. I had the Halibut & my wife had the salmon special both was out of this world.
I recomend this hotel to anybody.
Nice but had some kinks
We stayed here a week after its grand opening. We stayed in a Grande King room that overlooked the pool area. The room had a 42" plasma tv and everything in the room was brand new. Nobody offered to help me carry my heavy bag upstairs. There were way too many valets hanging out front. Parking was $18 for one night. We were offered a box of hot tamales candy upon arriving in our room. The hotel seems to still be working out some kinks. We order breakfast at about 9:15am and hadn't received it by 10:30am so we decided to call and check on it. The room service employee said that they couldn't find our order so she asked us for our order again and said she'd give it to the cook. Our order included items we didn't order so we had to call and ask them to correct the order which they did. Finally, we had to wait for them to come back to our room so we could sign a corrected receipt. So breakfast was definitely not the smoothest experience. The tv started losing reception on and off in the morning also. On another note, we ordered one beer and one mixed drink at the Monarch lounge and it was $18 - a little pricey in my opinion. The staff was fairly friendly and many asked if we were doing okay. The hotel feels similar to the hotels in Vegas for some reason with many young and trendy looking people. Overall it was a pretty good stay for our anniversary.
Hip New Zaza
I was in Houston for tuesday night and decided to check Hotel Zaza. I attempted to book it online but the website was having a glitch or two. I called the hotel direct and got a "petite king" for $175. Check in went fine. I was given room 521 it was small but very stylish with a great view of the very lovely pool area. The bed was wonderfully luxurious and the opposite wall was mirrored with a large flat screen tv hung across the mirror, nice touch. The bathroom was small with a molded thick glass-topped vanity and sink on a stainless stand next to the glass shower. The bath products were Bulgari. The only problem with the bath was that precious little room was left for the toilet which was wedged next to the vanity. The closet was large with nice nice robe and safe. The room was very quiet despite overlooking the pool. The artwork in the hallways and the elevators is very hip Hollywood , quite a change from the old Warwick. The pool area with it's cabanas is vintage Hollywood. The lobby and ballrooms were a bit dark and some of the decor ( woman in a cage hanging over a pond) is a bit over the top, also the lower floor had a musty smell, hopefully a temporary problem.
We had dinner and lunch at Monarch. I had lamb and my girl had halibut. Both were really good and the wonton wrapped goat cheese and spinach salad was delicious. We also ordered asparagus that never arrived and the coffee was cold, not room temp, but cold. The waitress, Jamie, was quick to bring us a hot cup. The bar was happening and loud and the martini's were dry and delicious.
Lunch was nice and leisurely we tried the chicken salad croissant and the salmon, both were good and the Belgian fries were great. Our waiter Thomas was very cheery and prompt.
BTW the business center has not yet opened and I was without a laptop so you might be sure to pack one.
Overall a really nice hotel. I always liked the Warwick and Zaza takes it to a new trendy level. I did not get to visit the spa but I plan to next time. The pool is the perfect place for a nice weekend getaway or a cool drink before a nice dinner at Monarch.
I definitely prefer this Zaza to the one in Dallas. If you're in Houston for a trendy/spendy weekend Zaza is your place.
Grand opening - Great Place, Beautiful Rooms
I was lucky enough to know someone who knows someone that hooked us up for the big grand opening bash. They were expecting 1500+ people. OMG, we were so lucky to have a room! The person who invited me forgot to get me on the rooming list, so the front desk was scrambling to find me a room. They were very nice and managed to get it figured out.
We were the first occupants of the room.
I was in a small room, possibly one of the smallest... not complaining at all, mind you. It was a normal size room with a full size bed. Since no room type with a single full size bed is listed on the website, I am not sure what it is called.
The room was very serene in muted tones of brown, mushroomy-taupe, black and white.
There was a black marble desk along the entire length of one wall with a huge window behind it. The bed had a headboard made using an image of a semi-naked lady. Linens were high quality and the bed was firm and cushy.
There was a separate little dressing room with a leather chair that has a large closet with a safe. The bathroom was simple and modern. Marble and dark wood, Bulgari products. WONDERFUL robes!!! Not terry cloth. They are the Seersucker kimonos made by Telegraph Hill. One size fits anyone... size 6 or 26 and are perfect for the warm summer months.
The carpet is a deep brown and has pattern sculpted in it and there is a large LCD TV hanging on the wall.
Before I went down to the party, I went up to the 10/11/12th floors to tour the suites. They are just beautiful. The views are amazing. I had no clue Houston was so pretty! There is a beautiful park across the street with several fountains, monuments and much to see. The hotel certainly takes advantage of the park views. Just beautiful. I don't have photos of the tour because I forgot to take an extra card for my camera so you will have to read all about the rooms on the Zaza website. The photos look exactly like the rooms looked.
We went down to the party floors 1/2 and it was just nuts! People everywhere! Despite that, we walked all the hotel space. The public areas are interesting and eclectic. The pool is H-O-T. Man is this place going to be THE scene in Houston. There are lots of cabanas and rooms that open up to the pool area. So after going to see everything we retired to our room. There was so much racket and commotion in the hotel, we expected to hear it all night. We did not. In fact, all we heard was the occasional rude person screaming immediately outside our door. Looking out the window I could see but never heard the train that passed frequently on the street. There were balcony rooms immediatly next to my window room and I never heard anything. They must have fortified the soundproofing.
The next day I called down and asked for a late check out. No problem. We took a walk in the park and when we came back we noticed fresh pastries, Illy coffee and teas in the foyer of our floor. The pastries were made fresh at the hotel and were DELICIOUS, possibly the best I have ever had. Thank God, because we were starving!
Check out was a breeze and they had our car up within minutes.
I hope that I will be able to stay here again in the future... I have a feeling it will be sold to capacity all the time!
