What led you from delicate French cuisine to meat? I have been fascinated by butchers ever since I moved to New York. I grew up in Austin, Texas, and we didn't have these old-school butcher shops; my meat was wrapped up in cellophane, and that was it.

...wonderfully eclectic and completely different from any other in town. Tribal artifacts from across sub-Saharan Africa include masks from Kenya, spears from the Congo and many items from Namibia's ethnic population.

The roads around the 49-year-old electrician's apartment in Dublin were cordoned off, and bomb-disposal experts searched the premises, turning up 3 oz. of the powerful explosive material RDX. The amount was greater than what Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is accused of carrying on board Detroit-bound Northwest Flight 253 on Christmas...
...Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) says the 28-year-old who allegedly broke into Westergaard's home, identified by Kenyan police as Mohammed Muhideen Gelle, had close links to the Somali militant group al-Shabab, which controls large parts of southern Somalia and has been listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department. PET also says he is "suspected of having been involved in terror-related activities" during a recent stay in eastern Africa. Gelle was arrested by police in Kenya last August, prior to a Kenya visit by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and held...
