...dusty plains of Chettinad?in India's Tamil Nadu state?are known for anything, it is Chettinad chicken. This rich curry is a staple of Indian menus from Bombay to Birmingham, England. But the desert region may have tasted a hint of a more enticing asset. Many of the once palatial homes of its former merchants, who made their riches during the heyday of the Raj, are up for grabs. By some estimates, as many as 10,000 of these crumbling structures are spread across the sands, awaiting rescue. Authorities hope that some will be turned into hotels or museums...

...need an extra plate, please ask” is hardly the stuff of tyranny. In at least one strongly-worded exhortation, however, there does lie an ominous hint, as Murray demands more Lebensraum: “Do not lean on the crêpe counter!” The owner, who often rolls the crêpes himself (and no, he has not considered importing Dominicans to help, à la “Seinfeld”), explains simply that he treats his customers with respect, and he expects the same.

...known as endogenous depression) lose the ability to feel joy, excitement, empathy - just about anything except a gnawing dread. They eat without appetite and their sleeping patterns are shot to bits. Imagine being alone at 3 a.m., having just awoken from a nightmare.
