...position taken by Mithika Mwenda of the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance, a South African-based advocacy group at the summit, is particularly troubling. Mithika has implied that efforts such as those of Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi to set up financial compensation for poor countries to enact climate change reforms will “sell out the lives and hopes of Africans for a pittance”—strong words for a leading African minister working toward the same stated goal as PACJA.

Zuma is also a fix for another long-standing flaw in many of Africa's liberation movements. Though they claim to represent the masses, Africa's revolutions were mostly led by Western-educated black élites. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's pan-Africanist, earned a B.A., and M.A., in the U.S. Zimbabwean Robert Mugabe is a former teacher who was raised, in part, by the Jesuits and earned four university degrees by correspondence in prison.

BoltBus caps fares at $25 each way. This means a weekday ride from New York City to Boston costs about a third as much...

Cajun catfish is often served “blackened”—lightly battered with a potent mix of garlic, cornmeal, flour, cumin, generous amounts of chili, and other spices—and pan fried until the spices have bubbled to a deep golden brown and let off a resinous, intoxicating steam. The one we ordered was remarkably delicate, lightly caked with tangy spices, and bedded on a creamy pool of thick, salty, utterly satisfying cheddar grits...
