4. Emile Zola -- La Terre
   A journalist turned novelist, Zola is probably best known for the courageous stand he took when he published his open letter entitled "J'Accuse". The article, declaring the innocence of an army officer framed and convicted of treason, resulted in Zola's own conviction of libel, exile and bankruptcy. Though Zola died before it was over, the press sensation caused the officer's case to be reopened. The man was later exonerated, and freed from Devil's Island.
5. Bolivia -- La Paz
   In November and December last year Bolivia was on the brink of civil war. The right-wing opposition of the gas-rich eastern provinces had declared autonomy in protest against the new constitution. They called a general strike, brought armed gangs on the street and threatened to break up the country. The Ponchos Rojos, an armed indigenous movement, came out in support of the government. Although since then the immediate threat of civil war has subsided, the failure of the Morales government to break with capitalism means the situation could still spiral out of control in the coming months.

10. Final Fantasy I & Ii: Dawn of Souls -- Final Fantasy Ii
    Rather than the usual fare of one main hero starting from a lowly level to become a legend never to be forgotten, Final Fantasy II takes a slightly different approach. The story begins far, far away in a sleepy, little, peace-loving Kingdom called Fynn that has unfortunately been plagued by an evil reign of terror brought on by the emperor of the Palamecian Kingdom. Three lucky individuals survive the mass slaughter that ensues – Guy, Firion and Maria, all of whom had a Knight in shining armour (well, technically a White Mage…) called Minwu of Altair to thank for the reprieve. But the story does not end there, in fact it is just commencing, as the three join forces to inflict revenge upon the purveyor of doom…
