LLOYD SCHWARTZ
is the
Boston Phoenix
’
s
Pulitzer Prize–winning
classical music editor
and an English professor
at UMass Boston.
As his Globetrotting
article might suggest
(“
Encore at Symphony
Hall,” page 26), he
frequently can be found
listening to music—and
eavesdropping on his
neighbors now and
then—at Boston’s most
august concert hall.
TREASURE ISLANDS
WHEN SAM POLCER
traveled to Trinidad and
Tobago for this month’s Three Perfect Days,
there were two questions every local asked
Hemispheres’
editor at large. One was “Are you
coming back for Carnival?”; the other, “Have you
tried doubles yet?” As it turned out, doubles—
an unofficial national dish of chickpea curry
wrapped in fried bread—won a new convert
quickly. “If I lived there, I’d be addicted to them,”
Polcer says. “The problem is they run out of
doubles fast—you have to be up either really
late or really early.”
Polcer’s article and photos anchor our annual islands package, inwhichwe round up
some of the world’s best destinations for those looking to escape the winter doldrums.
But if lazing on a beach isn’t what you seek in a tropical getaway, check out Stephan
Talty’s report fromPanama on the intensifying search for the lost ships of CaptainHenry
Morgan. Be warned: Even 300-plus years later, the famed pirate remains as elusive as
mida ernoon doubles.

CONTRIBUTORS
MARCOS CHIN
is a
Brooklyn artist whose
work has appeared in
such publications as
Time
and
Entertainment
Weekly
.
In illustrating
this month’s feature on
the notorious privateer
Captain Henry Morgan
(“
Plunder Games,” page
100),
Chin says, “my
aim was to suggest a
ghostly quality about
this historical character
by meshing him with
the environment.”
JOLYON HELTERMAN,
a Boston-based food
writer, once spent eight
days ravaging British
fish-and-chips shacks
for a 100-word travel
story. This fall, he
subjected U.S. whiskey
bars to similar due
diligence for “The Irish
Hello” (page 35). “It’s
dizzying how often a
20-
minute interview
devolved into a two-
hour tasting spree,” he
recalls, vaguely.
