"Ms. Curry had accompanied Mr. Kristof on her first two visits to the region. “I was a little nervous about traveling with a hotshot anchor to a place that can be dangerous and difficult,” Mr. Kristof wrote. “We stayed that time in a little $4-a-night hotel, several people to a ramshackle room, with a pit toilet that was home to a bat that zoomed in and out at the worst moments.” “Ann,” he added, “put up with the bats, the scorpions, and of course all kinds of militias with guns.”" No, Mr. Kristof. That was not her biggest challenge. More than bats, scorpions, and militias with guns, she had to put up with you, and your boring ramblings during the trip. That must have been the worst part of her career challenges. I would rather travel with a talking potato, than with you, Mr. Kristof.
