...five to their own three. "And that was when I started thinking of the future again. If the children were there, we had to work for them." Jacqueline opened a small stall, baking bread and sewing dresses. In time, it became a shop. Her husband began working a small farm, growing maize, sorghum, sweet potatoes and cabbages and tending two cows. Since 2005, he has also sat on the Nyamata traditional court, presiding over genocide reconciliation hearings. "We have many problems with all these children. But I believe the future will be better for them. They will study and they...
...digging up crosnes, tiny curlicue-shaped, artichoke-flavored roots, with his bare hands. A Danish TV crew is taking close-ups of my shoes punching through the frozen mud crust. It's hard to say which they find more entertaining: the idea that someone would visit a root-vegetable farm in Prada heels or that anyone would travel to the Nordic region in search of haute cuisine...
...behind the cerebral abstraction of Noma's edible landscapes is the land itself.

Screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas have opened up the action to include a trek in which Wade outsmarts or just kills most of his captors; and there...
...Lebanon's coastal mountain range may be well known as a hotbed of Shi'ite militancy that has at various times hosted some of the world's most notorious terrorists, but it is also home to Lebanon's wine industry. It's a very Lebanese experience to watch Bedouin farm workers in the early morning light that illuminates distant mosques, as they carry crateloads of grapes to be pressed into a liquid that Islamic law forbids them, and most of their neighbors, from consuming. Alcohol production might seem incongruous in the overwhelmingly Muslim Middle East, but viniculture is an integral...
