...tea” and the shop offers patrons plenty of ways to steep themselves in tea-knowledge. Except for water, tea rivals milk as the world’s most ancient beverage. Legend has it that Emperor Shen Nung (2727 BC) discovered tea when a fortuitous leaf fell into water that his servants were boiling for drinking. All of the different varieties of loose-leaf tea—green, oodong, black, pü ‘erh—come from a single plant, Camellia sinesnis. Each pot of tea at Dado comes with a small booklet with information...

But there are some bright spots: peepers in the northernmost parts of the Midwest, upstate New York and northern Vermont can anticipate the most intense fall colors of the past few years...
Saleh governs a poor, mountainous country of 18 million where many adults squander much of the day in the national pastime of chewing a mildly narcotic leaf called kat. According to a recent local study, a typical Yemeni laborer spends three times as much on kat as on food. Saleh would like to make the country more economically productive, but investors are leery of Yemen's frontier culture. After Sept. 11, the government launched a grand sweep against individuals suspected of al-Qaeda links, and it still holds hundreds, according to high-level officials. In his effort to impose order...
