...superior racehorses have their Secretariat moment, that brief stitch in time when they reveal the true measure of their talent, and for BARBARO that instant arose as the horses came charging to the turn for home in the 2006 Kentucky Derby. Lying dangerously close to a fiery pace, the colt rushed to the lead and--following one of the fastest final quarter miles in Derby history--won the Roses by nearly seven lengths, the longest Derby victory margin in 60 years.

"I don't have a problem with looking into your brain," says Alan Leshner, former director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and current head of the American Association for the Advancement of Science...
...Juan Mari Arzak used a nifty device to puff up cellophane 'papillote' with herb-scented air that would then infuse the lobster cooked inside. Quique Dacosta created mushroom "papers"; Dani Garcia used liquid nitrogen to turn olive oil into butter lingots ; and Eneko Atxa centrifugally pulled apart broths to reveal three different "essences...
