...peak of its popularity in the 1920s, the Wertheim department store on Leipziger Platz in central Berlin boasted of being the biggest in Europe, the place shoppers could find "everything under one roof," from French goat cheese to Wagner opera scores. One contemporary writer even hailed the emporium, with its statues and marble columns, as the Berlin Louvre. Like so much else in Berlin, Wertheim fell victim first to the Nazis and then to the postwar communist rulers of East Germany. Most of the Jewish Wertheim family members fled Germany or were killed at Auschwitz, and the property was nationalized...

At the cheese center there are five caves equipped with customized European refrigeration systems, creating a distinct, precise climate for each type of cheese to reach its full potential.

Zepos and a team of fellow affineurs monitor the cheeses daily, turning them and tasting the developing flavors several times a week...

The lush grasslands that surrounded its pebble-strewn shores were filled with lions, zebras and antelopes as well as another creature, which traveled on two legs rather than four. Our distant ancestors had walked the earth for millions of years by this time...
...Lederman ’03, a Newton resident, and Meg Barenson, a Maine native, together in high school. “He told me I had flabby arms,” Barenson says of their first interaction. Lederman claims “I was just trying to get her goat. And it worked.” The two stayed in contact even while Barenson spent her first year of college in Israel. When she returned to Brandeis the next year, the two began spending more time together. This past December, they took a road trip together to Virginia in search...
