...What will it take to build on these ideas such as these, to extend brilliant local and pilot programs to more people? Alice Waters? one-word answer to this question struck me as the most honest: Money. And that?s where the grassroots pressure comes in. The food industry will go where its customers lead them. Government ultimately has to heed the voters. ?A million mad moms? - is a phrase that echoes in my ears.

...would be hard to believe that there is, anywhere, a more passionate advocate for whole-body scanning than Freilich. A 44-year-old dynamo, he defends his work in the manner of a debater with a brilliant speech who's just heard the one-minute bell - a legacy, perhaps, of being booed and heckled at conferences.

Waving from the red-carpeted steps of the Grand Palais were your Hankses and Diazes, your Brad Pitts and Mike Myerses--enough representatives of the rich and famous to fill a Cabala convention...
...year-old art student in London in the 1950s, Jack Rathbone meets the already established Scottish painter Vera Savage. Thirteen years older, she's a nasty if bewitching specimen--brilliant when she cares to be but also alcoholic, feckless and carnal. The story of their long, dissolute companionship is told to us by Gin Rathbone, Jack's all-too-loving sister, a woman who does not grasp the full dimensions of the tale she is telling...
