But when it comes to the more important subject of snacking, everyone knows that there is no better feeling than feeding a machine some money and having it reward you with delicious processed foodstuffs. It avoids the irksome “human” element of buying things from a store and makes you feel like if only they had electricity in Africa, maybe people wouldn’t be so hungry. It’s probably even cooler in Japan, where you can text message your choice to the vending machine, almost...

Administration officials remain adamant that their first review was thorough and proper, so the face-saving element was crucial, according to one Capitol Hill negotiator.

...like the Gulf Stream. And because the Gulf Stream is the only reason much of Western Europe has so mild and temperate a climate, such a shutdown of that conveyor belt of heat could be nothing short of catastrophic. Oceanographers reported late last year the ominous news that one element of that family of currents has slowed 30% since 1992. It's not clear yet that this is the beginning of the feared shutdown, but if so, it represents yet another tipping point...
