...roots. One notion is to let cities use NSP money to leverage lenders into helping more borrowers avoid foreclosure. Since lender banks naturally want foreclosed properties taken off their hands in the NSP buyout - and since reckless and even predatory lending was so often at play in the subprime mess - perhaps they in return ought to be required to show some level of commitment to homeowner relief, such as revising interest rates and other mortgage terms.

Fall brings a trio of cookbooks from world-renowned molecular gastronomists whose kitchens look a bit like chemistry labs, with all those centrifuges and tanks of liquid nitrogen used to make carrot foam and whiskey jellies. This hyper-whimsical style of cooking has caught on at many a celebrated restaurant, but are these books--whose recipes call for ingredients like calcium lactate--even remotely useful for home cooks...
