...says Academy founder Jean-Claude Rodriguez. "Montagné wrote about cassoulet with love, and I try to cook that way." At Restaurant Château Saint-Martin in Carcassonne, Rodriguez faithfully recreates cassoulet à l'ancienne, with white beans from the village of Mazères, aged ham, pork rind, pig's foot and knuckle meat. And in season, Rodriguez adds (on request) the authentic Carcassonne touch: wild partridge in lieu of duck confit...
...more promising places to hunt for life closer to home. Sunlight is not the only kind of energy that can fire the biological furnaces; so can subsurface heat. Jupiter's icy moon Europa is thought to have a rich, salty, globe-girdling ocean sloshing just beneath its surface rind of water ice. Very little solar light reaches so far into space, and even less makes it down to the dark ocean inside Europa.

But little Nadya Abouttofallova eats one pork rind, and she's on the first plane back to Uzbekistan.

...third orbiter set to arrive next week. Scrapping the Europa mission would be an even greater failure of imagination since the Jovian moon is widely considered the solar system's most tantalizing extraterrestrial place, with what may be a warm, salty, organic ocean churning beneath a relatively thin rind of water ice. Life not only could exist there but, to hear at least some exobiologists tell it, it should...
...quote Anne Carson’s poetry or prose, the author herself defining a quotation as “a slice of someone else’s orange.” Less tactful, her definition of the verbal equivalent is to “suck the slice, toss the rind, skate away.” But risking perilousness, Carson writes that “Brittle failure occurs / of course / when stress on a material exceeds its / tensile force...
