...dining hall food. All products made from scratch by HUDS no longer have trans fats after the company switched from partially hydrogenated oil in 2003. Dining hall margarine, peanut butter, muffins, cookies, and even chicken fingers and french fries all no longer contain trans fats. Of the desserts, only German chocolate brownies, Oreo cake, congo bars, and chocolate truffle do not qualify...
...that the certainty of fundamentalism? Or was it the initiation into a mystery none of us can ever fully understand? I'd argue the latter. The 18th century German playwright Gotthold Lessing said it best. He prayed a simple prayer: "If God were to hold all Truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left hand only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with the proviso that I would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, I would with all humility take the left hand, and say, Father, I will take...
...elected a Chancellor determined to improve relations with the U.S. Since George W. Bush came to office, polls have shown that Europeans blame him personally more than the U.S. in general for what ails U.S.-European ties.

When I was a high school exchange student in 1972, I had a rollicking argument with a train compartment full of East German teenagers about "imperialist America." But when I gave one of the girls a John F. Kennedy half-dollar, she broke into tears and gave me a big kiss. How many European teenagers today would feel that way about any American President? For Europeans to have less need...
Some insurers, however, insist that they are going to begin investing in more environmentally friendly energy projects. For the past year, German giant Allianz Capital Partners has been assembling a team dedicated solely to renewable-energy investments and led by David Jones, Shell's former head of wind energy. The company estimates it will have about $600 million invested in renewable-energy infrastructure projects over the next five years--notably in wind-turbine hardware. "We have identified renewable energy as an absolute growth market," says Thomas Pütter, chief executive of Allianz. He points to China's embrace of wind...
