...remarkable swimming comeback and James' single-minded determination to bring back the gold medal in basketball are so compelling, yet so different, that we decided to do two TIME covers to show the breadth of our Olympic preview, which begins on page 44. And as evidence of our global reach, TIME's Asian-edition cover features Chinese athlete Liu Xiang, who four years ago became China's first male ever to win track-and-field gold and now is a vessel of 1.3 billion Chinese people's hopes. The three are joined by 97 other athletes, including some familiar names...
There was a time when city dwellers could more or less provide for their own food needs, but since the Industrial Revolution, the distance from field to fork has greatly increased--the average meal now travels 1,500 miles (2,400 km) to reach your plate. And, notes Bela, "the hidden cost of the food chain is the transport." Thus urban agriculture aims to help people save money as well as the environment...
...first appointee had no intention of writing odes to Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Robert Penn Warren said in 1986 that he "couldn't write to order" even if asked, and he spent his tenure overseeing the library's poetry collection.

It sounds timely, given the Obama candidacy, but in Don's world, Camelot is less about hope than about anxiety, not a magic kingdom but an invading force. Even the return of space hero John Glenn annoys Don's boss, Roger Sterling (John Slattery...
...stops. Take a plane. Take a ferry; in Alaska, the ferries are part of the highway system. Taylor Highway, a gravel track passable in summer, heads north from the Alaska Highway through Chicken (so named, according to local lore, because its founders could not spell ptarmigan) and eventually reaches Eagle, where it stops. The most self-indulgent and leisurely way to reach Alaska is to head for Seattle or Vancouver, board a cruise ship and eat your way north. For its 625 passengers on a recent seven-day voyage from Vancouver to Whittier, a seaport near Anchorage, the Cunard Princess...
