...culprit. The trees have been dead for a decade or more, victims of man-made canals that carry brackish water from Lake Pontchartrain, poisoning the cypress. Biologists call this a ghost swamp, one of many throughout the delta. When Katrina's winds howled in from the lake, the thinned forest around Bayou LaBranche could do little to buffer the impact on the communities of Norco and Good Hope to the south. Nor could the area's old marshland slow the storm surge that followed; most of the marsh had long since been turned into a salty lake...
...mouth. While this modern style of Brunello is flashier and gets more of the attention, all my friends preferred the more traditional style. Its color was brown tinged and its texture more supple. Flavor and aroma observations that we shouted out included black olive, summer cherry, cedar and forest honey, but to me a wonderful Brunello will always summon up plums and rosewater baking in the sun.

...tough times continued for the Harvard field hockey team, as No. 4 Duke bested the Crimson 6-0 yesterday afternoon at Jordan Field. With the loss, Harvard (5-4) dropped its third straight, and the six-goal margin was the greatest since last November, when then-No. 2 Wake Forest bested the Crimson 7-1 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

His solution has been to restore the existing spaces and double their area with what he calls a "hovering canopy" of sunlit new galleries running off a central atrium to the north; he likens it to "an architectural forest." It's one director Saines hopes will give a fuller picture of New Zealand and international art than the gallery has been allowed to show before...
...alight, producing a thick cloud of white smoke. If the pangolin, a scaly anteater that looks like a cross between an armadillo and an opossum, isn't smoked out of its lair soon, Jema'ah (who like most Indonesians goes by one name) will set off again through the forest, clutching a shopping list of animals that he has been instructed to seek out by a dealer in illegal wildlife from the coastal town of Bengkulu. "I never knew before that snakes and turtles were valuable," Jema'ah says, "let alone pangolin." When he started hunting a few years back...
