COUP IN MALI: It’s personal

Something I had known might happen -- but prayed wouldn't -- had indeed occurred. In that frozen moment of time the morning of March 22, hundreds of memories raced through my head: the people I had encountered, the places I had been, the smells, the sounds, hundreds of memories.
