    American and child kidnapped in Haiti

    That might depend on whether or not ransom was paid. No matter what, she is indeed a courageous woman.

    Why volunteers? Does the D.R. not have chain gangs? You get 3 hots and a cot, and we get litter removal in exchange. Dress them up in pretty pink skirts and halter tops.
