Given the generally higher incidence of obesity, hypertension and other lifestyle ills among African Americans, the church is in a powerful position to do a lot of good. In the 1990s, Marci Campbell, a professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina, helped launch a four-year trial called North Carolina Black Churches United for Better Health.

But Livni made it clear that she would welcome Lieberman into a governing coalition if she won, which says something about the state of moderation in Israeli politics these days.

...built the complex in a former municipal funeral parlor at the center of the troubled Flandres neighborhood - a melting pot of 30 different ethnic groups, with a 20% unemployment rate and over 60% social housing. After hearing about 104 from a French photographer friend, Tricky - the man behind the 1990s music revolution known as trip-hop - decided to come to Flandres in January and launch a project to seek out and record young local talent...
