...long way to go before it is climateproof, but so does most of the world. Japan has an impressive, long-standing system of flood control, including the so-called G-Cans project, a massive underground system in Tokyo that can pump 200 tons of water per second out of rivers and into the harbor before the city's streets flood. But former city officials acknowledge that Tokyo's system has reached its capacity. Since global warming is expected to bring Japan more frequent torrential rains, Tokyo will have to upgrade its drainage and sewage systems...

After all, it takes a special something for someone to graze on three chicken breasts, two hamburgers, soup, rice and wash it all down with four, maybe five glasses of Gatorade and water—in one meal.

It looked like an eternity coming out of his hand, but we knew...
...Ward’s newest EP, is a case in point. Pitching up and down like a creaky fin de siècle roller coaster, the rollicking Daniel Johnston cover exemplifies Ward’s newfound balancing act. Offsetting the pounding drums, which swell repeatedly to (almost) fist-pump-inducing crescendos, Ward’s throwback vocal style, with support from singer Neko Case, reminds listeners of older, gentler, “pre-war” tunes. The three songs that follow the title track on this single release are good, too—but not great. Apparently...
