The Science magazine article (by Searchinger et al) on which TIME relies has been thoroughly rebutted by leading scientists at the Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory. TIME owes its readers the totality of facts to avoid misinformation. For many decades, the U.S. has worked with farmers and the scientific community to increase crop yields, reduce the intensity of pesticide and fertilizer use, improve water productivity and promote conservation tillage that reduces erosion and sequesters carbon. Substantial progress continues in all these areas and was not sufficiently...

Craig’s days in Congress are running out in disgrace, yet his wife stands by him: might it be image, sympathy or love behind her loyalty...
...Development Goals. Long involved with Africa, he is particularly exercised about the crisis in Zimbabwe, where his father, who died in 1998, had friends who opposed white minority rule. Though plainly outraged by the delay in announcing the result of the presidential vote in Zimbabwe, Brown seems keen to avoid any accusations of colonial-style interference.
