...reason for that improvement is simple. Thanks to soaring oil prices, there is plenty of money sloshing around. On a Saturday afternoon, I went to lunch at the gleaming kabob palace Nayeb, which is where you go in Tehran to see and be seen--while eating lots of grilled meat. The prices had tripled in my absence, and so had the line for a table. As we wait, I chat with a waiter named Vali Joodi, who tells me he wakes up at 5 a.m. each day to commute from the working-class suburb of Shahriar. Four years...
...slaughter, and worse. The Dayaks, rumored to possess black magic that renders them impervious to bullets, have massacred entire Madurese villages, dismembering their victims and eating them. In the town of Sambas, he finds Dayaks cooking human thighs over a fire. One man offers him a chunk of human meat?"gray, fibrous"?impaled on a wooden stick like a kebab. Lloyd Parry refuses, but he can't stop himself from asking the essential question. The answer is predictably gruesome: it's delicious, they say. Like chicken...
...fast-food chains have to offer new reasons for people to come into the store. That's what Wendy's has always done best. It will have a chance to prove itself again later this year when it unveils its Frescata cold sandwiches.

"There's a lot of pent-up volume," says Scott Davis, founder of ViaGen, a biotech company based in Austin, Texas, that charges $15,000 to clone a cow and $4,000 for a pig. "A clone has to be bred...
From the Flats in West L.A. to the suburbs of Chicago and Boston, any block with smallish homes near desirable workplaces, good schools and popular stores and entertainment is red meat for carnivorous builders. The National Trust for Historic Preservation in a 2002 report documented more than 200 historically significant communities in 20 states where teardowns were prevalent. In the Chicago suburb of Hinsdale, the report said, an astonishing 1,200 homes (20% of the supply) had been demolished since 1986. The trend has intensified since then. Nationally, as many as 75,000 of the single-family houses built last...
