...three weeks they are pampered with a banquet of whey, potatoes and cabbage; their lifestyle is "No stress, plenty of space and lots and lots to eat." The emphasis in Reynaud's world is on quality, both of life and of meat. He cannot help but lament the methods employed by modern livestock operations and their bland product, and worry about the preservation of traditional ways of farming and living. Nonetheless, he remains optimistic. Tradition "mount[s] a good defense against the standardization of flavor in today's food industry," he says. While the battle is far from...
...newly independent Africa were far richer and better developed than the countries that would later become Asia's tigers. In the late 1950s, Ghana's per capita GDP was equivalent to South Korea's; today it is about $550, compared with South Korea's $16,000.

But Truth in Translation is more than a remarkable stage production...
...musical weak link. Aside from some fairly distracting microphone problems, the harmonies and diction were delivered clearly. Thomas R. Compton ’09 easily has the best voice in the cast as the romantically frustrated, three-breasted “Lotta Boobies” (get it?!). His forlorn lament “A Lotta Love” ranges from passages of delicate melodicism to “Stand and Deliver”-level force...
