Author David Sax is a man on a (delicious) mission. His goal? To preserve the delicatessen tradition. His new book, Save the Deli: In Search of Perfect Pastrami, Crusty Rye, and the Heart of Jewish Delicatessen (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), is a mouthwatering paean to corned-beef culture. The Oct. 20 launch party for his book, appropriately, was held at Ben's, a sprawling delicatessen in Manhattan's Garment District. Between bites, TIME senior reporter Andrea Sachs caught up with the knish connoisseur. (See pictures of what makes you eat more food...
...Gemini 3 astronaut John Young surprised his crew members when he pulled out a corned-beef-on-rye sandwich purchased from a Florida deli. Pizza Hut "delivered" a vacuum-sealed pizza to the Mir space station in 2001, and ISS member Peggy Whitson requested a pecan pie in 2002. Tortillas have been on every mission since 1985, when Mexican scientist Rodolfo Neri Vela brought them onboard a space-shuttle mission. In fact, NASA now provides astronauts with their own partially dehydrated tortillas made by the same company that supplies Taco Bell...

...childhood memory at stake in the outcome. If a quesadilla can be considered a sandwich, what would that mean for our memories? My lack of closure stemmed from the fact that knowing the definition didn’t compare to the satisfaction of biting into a juicy pastrami on rye. I spoke to everyone I knew to recover the charm missing from Oxford’s “sandwich (n.)”. Suddenly, I was in a world where everyone else was a secret sandwich expert and I would never possibly know enough. My friend from Long Island...
...State House in Harare, Zimbabwe, the unthinkable will happen. Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai (pronounced CHANG-guh-rye) will officially join president Robert Mugabe as the country's prime minister - a move that comes less than a month after a spokesman for Tsvangirai's party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), likened joining Mugabe's administration to committing "political suicide." Though Tsvangirai captured 5% more votes than Mugabe in the Mar. 29 presidential election, a campaign of violence against MDC supporters and Mugabe's stark refusal to relinquish power after nearly 30 years of uninterrupted rule has brought the Zimbabwean government...
