...Maybe paradise is an exaggeration, but I love Hamden for how it defies New York. Unlike Manhattan, Hamden can not offer Ethiopian-Mexican restaurants, inexpensive public transportation, and a Starbucks on every corner—all available 24/7. But where New Yorkers might find it limiting, I find it liberating. My neighborhood may not be as diverse as a New York subway car, but at least I’m friends with the 20 families on my block. I might not be able to find public transportation at 3 a.m., but I never hit traffic driving up my street...

In that strategic area of Africa, it has been more a superpower struggle than anything else. This kind of balanced reporting helps dispel the naive notion that nature is the only cause of the tragic suffering of the people in the region. Aziz L. Issarah Ossining, N. Y. Academic Freedom...
...Love Cafe (1501 U), a coffeehouse that gets its sweets from the bakery across the street. For dinner, try Rice, a Thai restaurant at 1608 14th Street, or Opera, at 1324 U, for upscale Italian (Wednesday through Saturday only). Another fine option is one of the area's many Ethiopian restaurants, such as Dukem...
