...JANEIRO, FEBRUARY 2000 A U.S. ship suspected of carrying GM corn is turned away by a Brazilian meat producer. The nation as a whole prohibits the importation of GM foods unless they've been proved safe; earlier this month, a federal court upheld that policy despite a statement from the Cabinet that Brazil "cannot be left out of this technology...
...title (Joao, Voice and Guitar) says it all--in Brazilian. For his first solo album in nearly a decade, the master of bossa nova opts for stripped-down simplicity.

Every one of the victimized cardholders had recently dined at one of two New York City restaurants. Raymond and his partners visited one of them, a Brazilian steak house on Central Park South called Plantation, and with the cooperation of the restaurant's mortified owner, they looked around the employee dressing room. There, in an open locker, they spotted the likely culprit: a black box the size of a Palm Pilot, with a slit down the front and bits of Velcro tape...
