See notes on Page 1 for more details.  \n*I: DAYBREAK IN A LITTLE VILLAGE IN THE ZAMBIAN HIGHLANDS.*  \nShe's teaching. Maths and science at the village high school. The school itself puts the word derelict to shame. A building so rundown our own country's squatters would find it uninhabitable. Windows are an illusion, walls that are more crack that brick, benches that should be reported to Amnesty's human rights watch and a roof that doubles as a communal shower in the wet season.  \nShe writes large letters on a shabby blackboard. Her class, slowly getting used to the sight of a freckled redhead whose skin is shining from the liberally applied sunblock, starts to give more attention to the teachings than the teacher.  \nHard to believe she's really doing this and enjoying it.  \nStranger still that she took a whole year off from one of the world's premier scientific projects. Most baffling, though, is the project she's taking up with her class.  \nAt first everybody--me included--thought it was a strange after-class hobby thing involving manual skills. Carving wood: something she's not terribly apt at so she goaded the local sculptor into helping her and the children out with the practical parts. Making a flat, laptop-sized wooden box with a hinged cover. Each child making her or his own. So far, so good, so innocent.  \nThen she told her schoolkids they were going to fill their boxes up with something special, layer after layer. She made two large vats, filled them with certain 'secret ingredients', let them stand for a couple of days (so that they would 'grow full') and then added salt to one and zinc sulphide to the other until both solutions were saturated.  \nRight now they're applying the first layer.  \n\"Miss,\" One of her class asks, \"why we do this?\"  \n\"You have to say: why are we doing this, Timmy.\" She can be a bit bitchy in class, too.  \n\"Why are we doing this, Miss?\" Timmy rolls his eyes but complies.  \n\"Because--if we follow the instructions carefully--these boxes will become your window to the world and beyond.\"  \nWhich leaves me wondering, but those young kids can be very sharp.  \n\"Like your laptop computer, Miss?\" A large-eyed girl with knobby knees.  \n\"Very good, Melissa.
