Complicating matters, both New York Governor George Pataki and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg had staked political capital on carrying out their visions of ground zero. Pataki muscled Silverstein out of the initial planning, organizing a worldwide architecture competition, eventually won by Daniel Libeskind, who designed a complex, including a museum, a memorial, a performing-arts center, a transportation hub and five office towers, with what is now known as the Freedom Tower as the tallest. Bloomberg tried a bureaucratic end run, offering to swap with the Port Authority control of the city's airports for ground zero...

Last month French officials admitted to Time that the Fusarium solani fungus has on occasion spread from the floor to the paintings, and that separate fusarium strains have now been identified in the various arms of the 235-m cave complex. Time was allowed to visit the cave because its keepers feel they finally have the outbreak under control. But to keep the fungus in retreat, a team of restorers comes into the cave every two weeks - dressed, as everyone who enters now must be, in hooded biohazard suits, booties...
More than 60 years after autism was first described by American psychiatrist Leo Kanner, there are still more questions than answers about this complex disorder. Its causes are still uncertain, as are the reasons for the rapidly rising incidence of autism in the U.S., Japan, England, Denmark and France.

In a classroom for 5-to-9-year-olds, eight kids sit in a circle playing a game in which they pick an activity card and a card showing a classmate's face. Children earn cheers as they perform the designated activity with that classmate (giving Olivia a high five, hugging Alex). Instead of tangible rewards, shouts of encouragement, a sense of accomplishment and what Greenspan calls the "warm, pleasurable...
Classes like this one represent a growing trend in travel to destinations including Italy, France and Mexico. Within Mexico, the state of Oaxaca is the culinary standout. Celebrated for its complex stews, bold flavors, unusual ingredients and intricate cooking techniques, the area has long attracted gourmets from around the world (the most daring will munch on chapulines--fried grasshoppers). Cabrera began offering lessons after getting repeated requests for recipes from travelers who ate in her family's restaurant, La Olla. But what began seven years ago as an occasional class has turned into a semiweekly event often sold...
