...countryside, the feelings are less nationalistic. Even before Medvedev's declaration, villagers told me that they think Saakashvili should go. "Russia wants him out so if they see he is gone, they will stop bombing our villagers," says the farmer Beriashvili. Smoke from a bomb billowed from his harvest nearby. Asked whether this would not simply give Russia what it wanted, he replied, "What would you have us do? How can we live like this? We are afraid. We will stay in the forests until this war is over."

...nation that won its first Olympic gold medal in 1984, China's athletic ascent, like its economic growth, can only be described with superlatives. By 2004, the People's Republic was just four medals shy of the gold-medal harvest of the U.S. This time around, China could well occupy the top spot in the medal tally.

Recently, the terroir concept - that a wine should express the specific soil, microclimate and cultural traditions that produced it - has become more widespread in the Champagne region. In exceptionally good years, some houses are now producing vintage wines profiling a single year's harvest, or single-vineyard wines made from a particularly outstanding parcel. But not without controversy: at the Champagne Information Bureau's annual tasting in London in March, some winemakers wrote off the single-vintage mono-parcel champagnes as a ploy to market novelties as luxuries...
