...competition for sovereignty heated up this summer even as the ice cap shrank, at an ever-accelerating pace, to an alarming new minimum. There it was Russia and its jingoistic jaunt in August to the Arctic Ocean floor at the North Pole that inspired Canada, the United States, Denmark and Norway to freshen up their own claims to the Arctic. Considerable - but still largely uncharted - oil and gas deposits are the attraction, and they become ever more enticing as prices for petroleum soar and exploitation technology improves...
...enlist Philippe Avanzi, one of France's leading interior designers, to develop a strategy to give 6,000-odd outlets across Europe a face-lift. Avanzi and McDonald's, in turn, engaged the services of one of the world's most highly regarded furniture producers, Fritz Hansen of Denmark, to supply chairs designed by legendary Danish Modernist Arne Jacobsen. McDonald's has called its high-profile strategy to bring upmarket style to the world's most ubiquitous restaurant the Less Is More campaign. But there may be even less than it bargained for, considering Fritz Hansen abruptly suspended the partnership...
...failure to act may carry consequences that are just as weighty as decisive action. Ask Hamlet. Gordon Brown, like the Prince of Denmark, has been paralyzed with indecision over whether to continue governing without a fresh mandate until his term of office expires in 2010 or go to polls to secure a fresh five-year term.

After all, the Labour party had for years been substantially ahead of its nearest rivals, the Conservatives, in opinion...
Which is so bizarre. For the longest time in Denmark I didn't want to say what I was politically. I thought it was irrelevant. I'm a self-described slight lefty in Denmark, which probably makes me incredibly left-wing in the U.S., so I'm very, very surprised. But I think this is because [climate change] has become so polarized in many ways, that it becomes either a hoax to Republicans, or to Democrats catastrophe. And what I like to say - and it's a little flip but I hope it's actually fairly true - is that...
...some time before Minikel and Balle start that process. They had planned on her moving to Denmark to take advantage of a government program designed to draw much needed doctors. But last July, Minikel was promoted at her U.S. hospital to the coveted post of residency director. So in October, Balle will visit for five weeks--the longest stretch they've ever spent together. She hopes he'll eventually move to the Bay Area. For now, they're keeping their passports handy...
