...Social Democratic Mayor Klaus Wowereit's plan to consolidate Berlin's three city airports into one by 2012. Proposals for repurposing the 890 acres (360 ha) in the heart of the capital range from establishing a German version of Central Park to turning it into grazing land for buffalo (really). Opponents gathered enough signatures in a citywide petition to trigger the referendum on the closure. Backed by prominent German businessmen, they say the airport is stimulating the local economy and that to pay for itself, parts of the Nazi-era arrival hall - still one of the largest freestanding buildings...
...Instead, Altin surprises me with squid simmered in a savory tomato sauce with hints of garlic, capers, and olives. The dish is surprisingly ornate, served up with green garnish and flat bread.The paninis on the menu cater to the tastes the pasta misses. Specialities include grilled ham and gouda, buffalo mozzarella and vine-ripened tomatoes, and herbed goat cheese and olives. No matter the combo, all paninis are deliciously priced at $6.25. A friend orders a sandwich with prosciutto, mozzarella, and tomatoes on ciabatta. It is enormous, hot, and crispy, a “preemptively pleasing” vision...
...movies, TV and the stage never ran out of statesmen and supermen for Heston to play. He was Marc Antony (three times), Andrew Jackson (twice), Thomas Jefferson, Henry VIII, Cardinal Richelieu, Buffalo Bill. He did Macbeth on early live TV and Sir Thomas More in a small-screen revival of A Man for All Seasons. ( He wanted to play the role in the 1966 movie version, but lost out to Paul Scofield, who died last month.) Having cut his great white teeth on Broadway, Heston was the rare mid-century movie star who returned to the stage. Laurence Olivier directed...
...Camorra, which has long infiltrated the waste-disposal business. The government's failure to confront the situation erupted in December, and the burning garbage may have tainted more than Italy's image. The trash emergency may be linked to elevated toxin levels in the Naples region's famous buffalo-milk mozzarella. Italian health officials have recently been forced to check hundreds of factories that produce the cheese after South Korea and Japan temporarily banned imports and the E.U. threatened to do the same...
...think the history of the sexual revolution is the story of the ever ready male gaining access to a larger pool of willing women. "There hasn't been a change in male sexual patterns in the 20th century," says Vern Bullough of the State University of New York at Buffalo, a historian of sexual trends. Though most analysts in the field would not go that far, studies tend to agree that changes in male premarital sexual behavior since the '30s have been rather modest. Premarital sex rates for women more than doubled between the 1930s and 1971, and sharply rose...
