...with the radioactivity of the explosions - although that would be devastating to nearby populations. The explosions would set off massive fires, which would produce plumes of black smoke. The sun would heat the smoke and lift it into the stratosphere - that's the layer above the troposphere, where we live - where there is no rain to clear it out. It would be blown across the globe and block the sun. The effect would not be a nuclear winter, but it would be colder than the little ice age [in the 17th and 18th centuries] and the change would happen very...
Nobody pretends that polluted air isn't terrible for your health. Clean up the skies over any dirty city, and the people who live there will all but certainly become healthier. That, at least, has been popular wisdom, but until now, no one had ever put it to a statistical test. Now someone has, and the results are striking: according to a study just published in the New England Journal of Medicine, when local governments decide to scrub out the smog, local residents actually live an average of five months longer...
...self-referential film “8 1/2” and transformed into a Broadway musical by Maury Yeston, “Nine” follows womanizing film director Guido Contini as he sings his way through a search for clarity in his interwoven professional and personal lives.

These effusive personal touches add to the already buoyant and lively atmosphere in Sanders. At times, the acts can be a bit slow and similar in material, but there are other moments of pure fun and innovation found in the dances by the Pinewoods Morris Men and the clogging of Gillian Stewart.The Morris Men make several appearances, sometimes with jingle bells attached...
...pike served with olive rice (pictured above). The rice is roasted to give it a pleasant crunchiness and the flavor of the piquant fish, like many of Iggy's dishes, is that marvelous interplay between sweet and salty that the Japanese call umami. Not all dishes at Iggy's live up to this transcendent promise (on the night we visited, the dessert was a disappointingly boring fig tiramisu). But there were hints of greatness in the light-as-a-cloud gazpacho sorbet served as a palate cleanser, and in the charcoal-grilled Wagyu steak, which is little larger than...
