...corrections." His government has exchanged increasingly harsh words with Islamabad over the past few months, alleging a Pakistani hand in Afghanistan's security problems. He was particularly pointed about Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency. "If Pakistan is using radicalism as a tool of policy for strategic depth in Afghanistan, well, I wish to tell them that it won't work," Karzai said...
...wine was harvested back in 1995 and first fermented slowly in small oak barrels, instead of the more commonly used stainless-steel vats. This gives it tremendous depth of character and toasty brioche notes, yet the fruit is surprisingly fresh and youthful - a flavor oxymoron that has become Krug's signature style...
...half outside the main camp, Sigfus Johann Johnsen and Steffen Bo Hansen drill for shallow ice cores. This is a side project, a much smaller drill that can bore down 70 m or so below the surface, which covers the past few hundred years of climatic history.

It's solid but porous, so it can trap some of the gas present in the atmosphere when it accumulated as snow. They can tell how much carbon dioxide...

The concerto recordings were made between 1932 and 1935, at the height of Schnabel's interpretive powers. Probity is the operative word here; the German notion of ''depth'' had no greater exponent than Schnabel. (A footnote in Schnabel's sonata edition could ramble for several inches discussing the difference between an appoggiatura and a semiquaver.) Yes, some of the runs in the ''Emperor'' are a bit mussy, but the pianist's earnest approach is informed by a proprietary affection...
