...survivor who persuades Andermans to write down his life story, a gripping tale of escape and betrayal in the wartime German capital. Like nearly everyone in the book, De Heer isn't what he seems. Neither is Paul Goldfarb, a Nobel-prizewinning physicist who fled Nazi Germany to help develop the atom bomb at Los Alamos and is now back at Potsdam. Or Donatella, a sexy Italian physicist who comes on to Andermans even as she attains fusion with Goldfarb. Between trysts, she and the Nobelist are pursuing a subatomic particle whose existence might validate Einstein's theory. Or something...
...worth the cholesterol it contains. All too often, unwitting consumers splurge on a steak dinner and end up with shoe leather. Thanks to anti-BSE measures and rising feed prices, most cattle are slaughtered at less than 30 months; they're too young and too crowded in feedlots to develop profound beef flavor. Too many consumers have been led to believe that bright red, moist, plastic-wrapped meat will yield a succulent steak. The lives of cattle and humans alike would improve if people applied the golden rule of intelligent consumption to beef: less but better...
This brings us to another supermarket paradox: moist raw meat means dry, tasteless steak. Fresh is certainly not best. Beef has to be hung to lose excess water, develop complex flavor, and break down tough fibers, but for how long? Experts disagree, sometimes violently. With all due respect to Zaldúa, two weeks is not enough for full-on flavor. Nor does youth yield tenderness. After encountering a steak at Etxebarri in Axpe from an old retired dairy cow as tender as a veal calf and infinitely more flavorful, I was also ready to challenge the received wisdom that...
...information in footnotes, including a telephone call in which an Iranian general expresses exasperation at questions about a program that he says stopped years before.) But while asserting that Iran may no longer have a weapons program, the new report also stresses that Iran is continuing to try to develop the technique to enrich uranium on a massive scale and that it could, theoretically, manufacture enough highly enriched uranium, or HEU, to build a bomb "during the 2010-15 time frame." (Iran says it is enriching uranium for peaceful purposes to use in energy production and does not intend...
...American Heart Association, nearly one in five American children between the ages of 6 and 11 are overweight. Perhaps that statistic doesn’t resound as much as it should—it means that nearly one in five children today are already on track for developing type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, and the whole glut of diseases and disorders associated with obesity. If America’s dire obesity epidemic is to be contained, decisive action must be taken in the interest of the public health, starting with policies that encourage children and adolescents...
