Goldman Sachs is a giant pig. A giant pig that blows bubbles through a wand shaped like a dollar sign. A giant pig that laughs at us when we invest in worthless dotcom stocks. A giant pig that happily watches us get carried away and burned by rising home prices. A giant pig that smiles widely when we have to fill our tanks with $4-a-gallon gas. Quite simply, the investment bank that is revered on Wall Street could just be a bunch of crooks, and greedy ones at that...
Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani may not realize that he is a guinea pig. Certainly he's used to being in small enclosed spaces: arrested in Pakistan in 2004, Ghailani spent two years in secret CIA prisons before being transferred to Cuba's Guantánamo Bay in 2006. But what makes Ghailani, 35, an object of such scientific scrutiny is that he is the first alleged terrorist to be transferred from Gitmo to stand trial in U.S. courts. On June 9, he appeared in New York City to face charges stemming from the 1998 bombing of the U.S. embassies in Kenya...
...figured out that restaurants are the best bet because there's cooked food in the Dumpster, and pigs prefer cooked food. I don't really want to cook for a pig, so it's perfect.

...decided that even though I was technically in the Bronx, I'd calculate the damage in estimated Manhattan prices. Sure enough, upon entering the Legends Suite with my ludicrously expensive ticket, I was immediately met by celebrity chef April Bloomfield of fancy Manhattan gastro-pub the Spotted Pig. The whole foyer is a massive buffet with countless stations, and April served up a pork-belly sandwich that was very moist - so moist that the bread fell apart. Really, April? I washed this down with a chateaubriand cheeseburger on a puffy little brioche that was completely perfect. So I ordered another...
...missed H1N1 when it was still just swine flu because we weren't looking for it. There's only scattered surveillance for pig diseases in the U.S. and Canada; in Mexico, there's even less. According to the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV), there were few reports of unusual sickness in the months leading up to the H1N1 outbreaks--not that vets would have necessarily noticed, since flu in swine is common and rarely serious. "We haven't seen anything that would have tipped us off," says Dr. Tom Burkgren, AASV's executive director...
