...competition requires each chef, aided by an assistant, to complete two platters of food, one featuring a meat course (Bresse chicken, this year), the other showcasing seafood (Norwegian white halibut and king crab), and three side dishes--all sufficient for 14 servings--within just a 5 1/2-hr. period. The food is judged on presentation and, of course, taste. Competitors train for the cooking challenge with the single-minded discipline usually found in élite athletes. For Kaysen, this means heading to the kitchen on his day off to sharpen skills like butchering a whole chicken. He began practicing...

Several long-term efforts to reintroduce orangutans into Indonesia's fast-disappearing forests have met with scant success, for example. Even Keiko the killer whale (the inspiration for the Free Willy movies) ended up hanging out in a Norwegian harbor looking for free food from fishermen and tourists instead of frolicking with his oceanic relatives...

This impeccably cleaned-up transfer, a miracle of restoration as well as rediscovery, allows the film to be seen as it has not been since its premiere. The disc also provides a history...
...Huggable Dinosaurs? Norwegian scientists last month announced the discovery of the first complete skeleton of a pliosaur, a vicious 10-m-long sea predator with teeth as big as cucumbers [Oct. 16]. Most dinosaurs, however, weren't nearly so scary, as TIME reported in its Sept. 10, 1990, story on paleontologist Jack Horner...
