...based gourmet R.W. Apple Jr. listed 10 restaurants worth boarding a plane to visit. When my editors at TIME recently asked for ideas for stories on food and the way it influences societies around the world, I ambitiously suggested I visit Apple's favorites. Such a device would allow me to write about our obsession with finding great food in obscure places, I explained, while celebrating the life of one of the best writers on food of recent years-a global connoisseur, whose legendary appetite for everything from Chicago hot dogs to Vietnamese noodles was matched only by his extraordinary...

I'm pressing for Europe and America to make proposals that would allow Brazil, India, the developing countries to come behind a trade deal that I believe we could agree on by the summer. That would be a practical example of how Europe and America, despite all the difficulties of the last few years, could come together to make sure the world is actually...
