...generation of artisan winemakers is intent on fixing Beaujolais' bruised reputation.

Her belief in the region's fare stems from a "sumptuous" 1911 Beaujolais Cru Morgon she once sampled. "I've tasted what they could do back then, and that's the style I'm searching for," she says. Zighera patiently vinifies in tiny volumes with the Gamay grapes' natural yeasts to create her elegant, structured Fleurie La Dot. (See where...

...Jean-Paul Thévenet gathered in opposition to "industrial wine" to make pesticide-free, nonsulfured, nonfiltered wines. Marcel's son Mathieu is heartened by the new crop of feisty purists.

...doctor makes an incision in a man's scrotal sac and, deftly wielding his scalpel, quickly removes both testicles. In the Czech Republic, that simple operation is the punishment for male sex offenders. But to the Council of Europe, the region's leading human-rights body, the procedure is "invasive, irreversible and mutilating."

...That spirit has stayed alive even amid the worst economic crisis in memory. As unemployment rises throughout the region, government officials and executives from Tokyo boardrooms to New Delhi ministries are scrambling to find ways to minimize mass layoffs. Part of the urgency, especially in countries like China, is to reduce the risk of social unrest as the number of jobless escalates.
