...misstep by a country that has seen what kind of tsunami an earthquake this strong can hurl - as it did in 1960, when a 9.5-magnitude quake, the most powerful ever recorded, killed more than 1,600 people. Inexplicably, in the minutes after Saturday's quake, Chilean officials told coastal communities like Constitución that there was little if any danger of tsunamis. Chilean television networks later aired video of tall, destructive waves pushing houses, cars and boats through fishing villages. "We ran desperately up the hill and watched how the sea washed everything away," a woman...
Remarkable, that is, in terms of coping with what happened on land. Disaster officials now say the majority of Chile's fatalities may have resulted from the temblor-generated tsunami waves that slammed coastal towns like Constitución, where 350 people were killed.

And there are probably no other books that can tell you which wine to choose when ordering Korean soup not simply as an accompaniment but as a main meal (the answer is a Côtes du Rhône Villages, a sparkling wine or a dry rosé), or what to pair with northern Chinese offal dishes (try a Cahors or Madiran). Such...
...also for the Big Easy itself, after four-plus years of post-Katrina pity parties. It was a night to stop feeling sorry. New Orleans is still a high-poverty, high-anxiety mess. Some of its neighborhoods have barely begun to rebuild, and it's still outrageously vulnerable to coastal storms. Its levees are too weak, and the wetlands that once protected it from hurricanes continue to melt into the Gulf. But the Lombardi Gras felt like a new beginning for a who-dat city of underdogs--especially coming just days after its black and white residents came together...
