Local businesses blossomed with this growth, but they are now seeing the swoon. At one end of Greenwich's High Street is the Green Baby store, which sells Earth Friendly Baby organic chamomile shampoo and diaper balm made from sweet-almond oil and shea butter. A short walk away is the Greenwich Park Bar & Grill, where a burger made from "Kobe" beef raised on a farm in north Wales will set you back $33. At the Nevada Street Deli, which serves up smoky cheese from County Cork and freshly made poached-salmon sandwiches, owner Laura Heap says she's already...

The amygdala is designed to be wildly sensitive to certain things - for instance, anything uncontrollable and unfair (like a terrorist attack involving an airplane) - and remarkably forgiving toward other, far deadlier menaces that seem to be small in scale (car crashes) or involve less suffering (heart attacks...

Figuring out which insects are which can be fiendishly difficult; some scientists estimate that we have managed to identify only 10% of the insect world so far. The rest, like Barclay's almond-shaped mystery bug, are perfectly happy to crawl along without any christening or approval from their gargantuan neighbors. But that won't stop scientists like Barclay from trying to give his new chums a proper name--that is to say, a Latin one. For Barclay, the question asked...
