...identical twin brothers Lech and Jaroslaw Kaczynski. They promise to get tough on corruption, crime and ex-communists, and build a "strong state" that promotes Polish national interests; Jaroslaw is party leader and Lech President. The hung parliament has hampered policymaking, but the brothers' combativeness has kept the political pot boiling. They've picked their biggest fight with Balcerowicz, the polarizing symbol of post-communist economic reforms that have resulted in 40% growth in gdp since 1989 - but also 18% unemployment. Widely respected abroad, Balcerowicz has stood up for the independence of the central bank and also for Europe-wide...
Mario Batali grabs a brawny handful of parsley leaves and tosses them into the pot without looking. Onstage before a crowd of 400 at the International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, Batali is demonstrating how to make fregula soup with clams. It's a simple recipe--fregula is just a kind of pasta--but the soup looks a mess. An intemperate amount of chili flakes has gone in, as has what seemed unadvisedly large pinches of saffron, which has a neat but metallic flavor that can overwhelm.

...forming identities and differentiating themselves long before we previously believed they did. New evidence suggests that a coastal migration could have taken people from anywhere along the Pacific Rim, or the North African coast for that matter. The early adventurers who came to the Americas created the original melting pot. It's hard to imagine one particular race laying claim to the discovery of this place we call the Americas. We shouldn't even refer to the western hemisphere. A planet, after all, has no east or west...
...last come true: a country that the dictator Saddam held together with a brutal, tight grip is spinning out of control. People unaccustomed to democracy and split by long-lasting rivalries are unlikely to seek peaceful coexistence. Maybe the American ideal of a national melting pot enticed the Bush Administration into irresponsibly simplifying the complicated situation in Iraq. Hans Gerbig Gersthofen, Germany...
