...around since the 12th century and is in Article One, Section Nine of the Constitution. Without the right to challenge their imprisonment, there is no guarantee of a trial, swift or otherwise, giving incarcerated “terrorists” full opportunity to enjoy the treatment and facilities at Chez Guantanamo or one of the U.S.’s secret torture resorts...
...local band that have been fusing African rhythms with politics since the early '80s, are shaking up a cocktail of sweaty fans. It's buzzing, but it's not full - not everybody in Mozambique's capital can afford the $6 door fee at Sr Mfumo Jazz Bar (formerly Chez Rangel). Most people still get by on just $40 a month. It's been 10 years since I first visited Maputo. Back then, just three years after the end of a civil war that left the country littered with land mines, this kind of cool did not exist. The shops...

That?s also not new: it was the driving idea behind the fresh-above-all restaurants that launched the U.S. food revolution in the 1970s and ?80s.

She is probably the best-paid food-services director in the country: her $95,000 salary plus generous benefits is covered by Waters' Chez Panisse Foundation, which sees Berkeley as the launchpad for a nationwide revolution.

Even with such initiatives in place, school food was far from the Chez Panisse ideal before Cooper came to town last October. The bread was white, the fruit canned, the meat highly processed. Now Cooper has inked deals with local suppliers for whole-wheat rolls, fresh produce, even grass-fed beef. Her staff of 53, accustomed to reheating food from outside vendors for the 4,000 lunches, 1,500 breakfasts and 1,500 snacks served each day, is learning to make meals from scratch...
