...Henry Moores. It's also home to 137 sheep, for whom Goldsworthy has built a sheepfold contain-ing a massive stone slab on which human visitors can lie to create "rain shadows." Else-where on the estate he has raised a series of dry-stone wall enclosures where giant fallen oaks hang. Paradoxically, for all the open air, it's Goldsworthy's new indoor works that are the fresher. "A building, no matter how beautiful, is a dead space," says the sculptor, whose solution has been to carry the outdoors inside. One room is now a cocoon of coppiced sweet...
Amid a constantly changing landscape, our guide Hossein led us up giant boulder-strewn hillsides and past juniper trees to the 2,500-m Tizi Mezik pass, only to drop sharply down again into a mineral-rich valley of red earth and terraced villages. The next morning - with a night's snowfall caking the red soil and pines - everything looked different again. As we hiked up a final ridge, muleteer Ali Baba (he assured us that was his name) used the opportunity to pelt everybody with snowballs, a prank I hadn't expected to experience in North Africa...
...about the connection between university research and global health. To illustrate the impact students can have on drug affordability, Kim discussed the student activism that led to the launch of UAEM. In the early 1990s, Yale University licensed an exclusive patent for a newly discovered HIV drug to pharmaceutical giant Bristol-Myers Squibb, making the drug unaffordable for most patients in developing countries.

Asking the audience...
...best quality products and service." Sounds like p.r. boilerplate, but Cojean has the bona fides to back it up - a grand irony that is a little-known secret: he's a 15-year veteran of McDonald's Europe. Literally the day after he resigned as one of the hamburger giant's directors of research & development in 2000 he began writing up the business plan for his hip and healthy restaurant chain. The move was a radical one, even beyond the significant change in cuisine. "In my last job, I was making three times as much money as I'm making...
...work. Running until Jan. 6, 2008, the show features major new works and a photographic review of many of the ephemeral works in nature for which Goldsworthy has become famous over the last 30 years. Among the new outdoor pieces are dry-stone wall enclosures that cradle giant fallen oaks, while inside there are rooms of stone, wood and clay. In another gallery all but a snaking ribbon of picture window has been covered in cow dung. In front of a curtain he made by pinning together 10,000 horse chestnut leaf stalks, Goldsworthy, 50, spoke to TIME's Michael...
