The Killing Ground: A Journey to Rwanda
Tuesday, January 31, 1995

by Mike Farrell (*)


A groggy crew climbs off the Dar - Nairobi - London British Airways flight at 5-something in the morning, says good-bye to Caroline, who is continuing the publicity rounds for her film, and flops down in the lounge to await the 11:30AM flight to DC. The highlight of this experience is the sublime discovery that British Air's London transit lounge has the great good taste to provide a shower for its business class passengers.

On the plane, off the plane and presto!, we're back in the US of A and it's only the middle of the afternoon of the same day. Can this be?

Hotel room, dinner, buy some clean clothes (clean clothes!!) and try to figure out how to sleep when your body clock has lost its mainspring.
