"People are just now starting to think about my generation." Mr. Karl was sitting in CNN's Manhattan studio late on a hot May afternoon waiting for his producer to finish his latest piece.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the Burmese democracy movement, has taken up the journalist's pen to write a syndicated column about her life under her country's military rule. But anyone looking for fiery political messages in Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi's column, "Letter From Burma," which is being distributed by Universal Press Syndicate, will find instead mostly tranquil and reflective musings about her Rangoon childhood and the problems of keeping up an old house.

Every morning, Edmond Garesche awakens in his Manhattan apartment to WCBS-AM, one of the city's three all-news radio stations, and listens for about two hours, as he lies in bed half-awake and then as he gets dressed for his job producing World Wide Web sites.
