...cuisines in Africa. A great place to sample the range of dishes is the Fasika National Restaurant, tel: (251) 1 509 912, located in a maze of dusty side streets off Bole Road in the capital, Addis Ababa. The food is served on injera, a large piece of flat bread made from tef, a grain unique to the region. Injera may look like foam rubber, but its slightly sour taste is the perfect complement to spicy meat and vegetable dishes. Use chunks of injera to scoop up lamb and chicken cooked in kai wat, a fiery red sauce, or alicha...
...third-generation musician, Davis grew up in Sylvania, Ohio, and acquired a degree in bassoon from the University of Michigan. He began writing jingles and catchy versions of classical compositions. Then came the big break: Davis co-wrote a jingle for a bread company chronicling a fictional long-haul trucker named C.W. McCall and his main squeeze Mavis, a waitress at the "Old Home Filler-Up an' Keep On A-Truckin' Cafe." The ad eventually became the theme song of Convoy...

If you want to whip up your own batch back home, skin a baked eggplant while it's still fairly hot, then mash...
...sure enough, the food at the University of Dar es Salaam was awful. Mornings are a piece of fried bread (called chapati), a blockish hunk of porridge and a cup of foul tea. The saving grace, of course, is that these unappetizing and meager tidings cost around 400 shillings, the equivalent of 35 cents...
...disaster is taking shape, albeit at a slower pace. Despite seven years of poor rain, state governments have yet to produce coherent plans for rain harvesting or water storage, and existing reservoirs, channels and pipes are notoriously badly maintained. In 11 states across central and western India-including the "bread basket" states of Punjab and Haryana-this year's rainfall is 20-59% below normal. In Vidarbha region in central India, only 10% of the land is irrigated, despite continual pleas from farmers for the local government to provide a more comprehensive watering system. Farmers' federation leader Vijay Jawandhia estimates...
