...bulky connoisseur declares, after one of his regular customers recommends a special spicy salami that has long been produced in a small village near Parma. For those who thought all hams were created equal, Tamburini offers the premium Culatello prosciutto, taken from the most prized section of the pork hind. At €51.65 a kg, it's worth every buttery cent. Mortadella, the region's famed processed pork meat, is believed to have arrived from Celtic conquerors who were used to eating their meat in paté form. Though now considered a poor-man's sandwich filler, mortadella used...
...written with Deitch's brother, Simon, "Boulevard" focuses on Ted Mishkin, a talented animator whose gifts can never quite overcome his curse. His curse is Waldo, a mischievous cat who walks on his hind legs. Waldo may be a delusion or he may be real, but only Ted can see him. As Mishkin describes him, "he's all charm and cute on the outside, but inside he's pure devil." In a complex play on the concept of the Muse, Waldo inspires Ted to create a like-named cartoon character for the animation studio his brother Al runs. While "Waldo...
...Several hundred well-armed Chechens - as well-armed if not better than the Russian troops they're facing - are fighting a large Russian unit around the village of Galashki in Ingushetiya.

So, it's a major battle...
...Greatest Show On Earth: There are animals, of course, walking improbably on their hind legs, but it's humans who elicit the held breath at the 132nd Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus. In a computer-generated age, there's an odd thrill in seeing a real person do the undoable, like leap through a ring of flaming knives blindfolded. And the cheeky audience-participation antics of David Larible, above, make clowns seem almost hip. Almost...
...health of their breed. But pooches with health problems still win prizes. John Smith Baxter, a vet in northern Leeds and once the star of a long-running TV series on vets, recalls examining a top Crufts spaniel and finding that both its patellas (the kneecaps of the hind legs) were slipping out of place, a condition almost certain to have been caused by an inherited developmental abnormality. The legacy of ill health resulting from too much inbreeding is long. Cavalier King Charles spaniels and boxers are now often afflicted by heart problems. Irish setters, cocker spaniels and collies suffer...
