...introduction to his 522-page magnum opus, Molto Italiano, chef Mario Batali reflects on the frenzy that now accompanies the opening of many American restaurants. "In recent years," he writes in the cookbook, which was published last May, "we seem to care more about the opening of a new restaurant than we do the opening of a new play or a new version of Don Giovanni by the local opera company. This makes me happy, but at the same time, it makes me just a little...
Despite Google's refusal to turn over data on people's Internet use to U.S. prosecutors, the company is actually betraying its customers' trust by retaining information on every search and resultant Web-page retrieval.

In the log itself, al-Qahtani both admits and denies...
...Last June, TIME published excerpts from a highly classified, 84-page log minutely detailing al-Qahtani's interrogation at Guantanamo. Now, as an increasing number of detainees mount legal challenges to their incarceration, TIME is making the record of al-Qahtani's treatment available to the public in its entirety (except for some names which have been redacted) for the first time. Back in June 2005, the Pentagon insisted that al-Qahtani had provided vital intelligence, focusing on key al-Qaeda leaders and some 30 fellow prisoners at Guantanamo whom he identified as Osama bin Laden's bodyguards...
