It’s hard to talk about Andrew Bird without mentioning “The Mysterious Production of Eggs,” his 2005 opus. It may be an equally difficult task to top that album, even for its brilliant creator.Despite the evolution Bird demonstrates in his latest, “Armchair Apocrypha,” the album is just not as captivating as its immediate predecessor. Listening to Bird’s subtle stylings and soaring, intellectual, rustic chamber pop, it seems impossible that he could have ever been a part of the ultra-swinging Squirrel Nut Zippers...

Paris is divided into two camps: those who hold that the best mini macarons come from Ladurée, and those that swear by Pierre Hermé. This is a somewhat academic debate, since Hermé worked at Ladurée before opening...
...original version of this story inaccurately described morning-after pills being distributed free by Chilean President Michelle Bachelet as "abortion-inducing." Though pro-life advocates claim the pills effect a kind of abortion by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus in the first 72 hours after unprotected sex, the pills are more accurately considered an emergency contraception by the medical community since they technically prevent a pregnancy from occurring in the first place...
