For five years, the former New York Times restaurant critic ate his way through some of the best - and worst - menus the city had to offer. His meticulous, unforgiving reviews could make or break a new restaurant and the prospect of a Bruni visit regularly sent chefs into panics. But Bruni's relationship with food went beyond his day job: as he relates in his new book, Born Round, the man paid to eat had a history of eating disorders stretching all the way back...

Never shy about her opinions, she propagates them with gusto on television, discussing everything from religion to cooking, with the authority...
Human-rights organizations say an International Megan's Law would be a step in the right direction. "If we know someone is committing serious crimes at home or overseas, we want to accurately identify them," says Karen Stauss of the Polaris Project, an organization dedicated to combating human-trafficking. Amanda Bissex, UNICEF Thailand's chief of child protection, agrees that H.R. 1623 would benefit vulnerable children. "We need to improve law enforcement and the economic welfare of children," says Bissex, "but we also need to address people's attitudes and create an environment where there is zero tolerance for abuse...
