...only one blow in the pummeling biofuels have taken recently, not least in a TIME cover story. In April a World Bank report accused biofuel production of pushing up feedstock prices, and Jean Ziegler, the U.N. Special Rapporteur for the Right to Food, called biofuels production "a crime against humanity" because of its impact on global food prices...
...Angeles than it is Los Angeles--in-novel-form, an attempt to embrace and describe and sum up the city by mixing fictional story lines about diverse characters--rich, poor, homeless; black, white, Mexican--with actual facts (somebody might want to check them) about L.A.'s freeways and crime rates and history and such. It's reminiscent of one of Tom Wolfe's billion-footed beasts, but it's even more reminiscent of the socially conscious early 20th century naturalism of John Dos Passos and John Steinbeck.

Dr. Sen’s patients included a convicted Naxal leader who required hand surgery, and all those visits had been approved and monitored by prison officials. It is difficult to work in Chhattisgarh, particularly in rural areas and in prisons, and not come into contact...
...From this subterranean realm, Felix, 5, Stefan, 18, and Kerstin, 19, have now come blinking into the world. While Austria recoils in horror at the crime that produced the children, and grapples with how it remained undiscovered for so long, the Fritzls have a more basic challenge ahead of them: survival. Can children constrained to such a stunted sphere adjust to the world's cacophony? And what can modern science and medicine do to help...
