...combines rumbled through golden Dakota wheatfields last week, all signs pointed to a handsome harvest. The corn belt through Indiana, Illinois and Iowa was a healthy bright green, and soybean fields from Minnesota to Missouri sprouted lush and leafy plants. But bounty is a mixed blessing for American farmers, who are mired in a deepening agricultural depression. "This is the crop of our lives," says Roger Ellison, who farms 400 acres of corn and soybeans 45 miles north of Columbia, Mo. "The sad thing is, there's no price in the market...
...allowed to morph this dramatically, it should be Steve Wynn. After all, Wynn turned a city that was a pit stop for male vice into an international family destination. Expectations that he was going to top his past extravaganzas were so huge that when he started construction on the lush, waterfall-laden, 43-m man-made mountain in front of his new hotel, the rumor in town was that he was building a ski resort on the Strip. But Wynn Las Vegas, which opened in April, exudes an anti-Vegas, almost Buddhist quietude. There's no theme, no showstopper like...
This is not the Paul Wolfowitz the world is used to seeing. On a lush hillside in Rwanda last week, Wolfowitz - the über-hawk, the architect of the Iraq war, the embodiment of everything that the Bush Administration's critics find detestable about U.S. foreign policy - was talking about coffee.

...composer, Lim won't apply a sweetener to her music. In the world of modern orchestral arrangements, this hovers somewhere between the strange and the familiar - both lush and harsh, with the ancient sounds of the Japanese harp giving way, in one piece, to the ringing of tuned glass bottles. In the shifting tones, a faint harmony seems just out of reach. Lim likens the effect to "birdsong beginning inside the egg," a phrase she quotes from the 13th century Sufi mystic Jelaluddin Rumi. Even classical audiences can find Lim's music obscure. "The point for Liza is not about...
...chef John Samuel, tossing spices into a bubbling pot of coconut and cashew curry. Bright and aromatic, southern Indian cooking is a revelation to palates dulled by ghee-laden northern Indian dishes. And nowhere does this explosion of flavors converge better than in the southwestern state of Kerala. Its lush coastline has been a magnet for seafarers for centuries, and its cuisine still bears Portuguese, Jewish and Arab influences. These join a native storehouse of ingredients rich with Ayurvedic properties: turmeric is said to be good for the complexion, and cinnamon for digestion; curry leaves, some claim, help fight cancer...
