In stark contrast to the New York Times article that I posted recently,
extolling a vacation in Guinea-Bissau, the Los Angeles Times ran this piece
today, part of a small series they have on Forgotten Countries (yesterday's
article was about Sierra Leone).  It is hard to believe the two journalists
were visiting the same tiny country.
