...session on the finer points of cap and trade could do far worse than to stop in for a meal at Noma. At chef Rene Redzepi's astonishing restaurant, dinner begins with a tiny quail egg served on a bed of smoldering hay (all the better to infuse the lush yolk with the haunting flavors of barnyard and smoke). In both its sustainably raised, locally foraged credentials, and its all-around deliciousness, the egg is Noma's small but potent culinary reminder of why saving the planet matters...
...community center in Taipei, a church bulletin board displays family pictures with children showing off drawings of pink lotus flowers, lush trees, ponds and imaginary bears from a drawing contest at the Botanical Gardens. Catherine Wu, a newcomer to the church, noticed something unusual on the board that any outsider might overlook: each family had two or more children.

Father and son stumble down a warped concrete road, shattered telephone...

But once the bad times began, they never quit. In 1946 a fire in his Connecticut studio destroyed more than 20 paintings. Then came rectal cancer and a car accident that left his painting arm temporarily immobilized. Then his wife left him, taking the kids. In despair and constant pain, he hanged himself. He was only 46 - a short life...
