...room where customers could get a decent coffee drink and read their newspapers; the other, a riot of plastic-and-vinyl booths and bright fluorescent lighting where meals are counted in billions served. I wondered if it was really possible for these two worlds to collide. If McDonald's built its own version of a grande nonfat latte, would Starbucks customers come...
...that Chinese President Hu Jintao was a runner-up. China has been transformed by Deng Xiaoping's exhortation that "to get rich is glorious," but Hu wants to narrow the gap between rich and poor so every Chinese can share in the wealth of economic growth. Hu has built a good image for China and expanded the nation's global influence. He will eventually encourage the Chinese people to accelerate political reform. Song Xiaowen, Zhongli City, Taiwan...

Still, as Bakken walks through the waves of waste, he gestures to the half-built beginnings of the project: eleven concrete cells that will each contain up to 12,000 cubic meters (15,695 cubic yards) of organic waste. (The landfill will employ the scavengers who now roam the garbage heaps to pick out inorganic waste, which doesn't produce biogas.) Once waste is packed inside the airtight cells, anaerobic digestion by bacteria will...
