The Bad News BibleForeign correspondent Faith Zanetti has her dream job: She lives in swanky overseas hotels, on somebody else's dime, and she's in nearly constant danger of being blown up.

And with tomorrow's newspaper deadline always looming, there's never time to think about the things you should have done differently.
