He returned to Sydney to start his first restaurant, Darley Street Thai, to rave reviews. A decade later he opened Nahm in London, the first Thai restaurant with a Michelin star...
...work of Dr. Lars Olov Bygren in epigenetics referenced in your article would seem to nullify one of the icons of Darwinian evolution, Darwin's finches. Darwin noted that the bill length of finches changed depending on environmental conditions. Darwin explained this by natural selection. Other scientists have noticed that the bill lengths of those finches return to normal when conditions return to normal. Sounds like epigenetics and not Darwinian evolution. Darwin skeptics tend to agree that organisms can adapt (or evolve) within certain boundaries, but such organisms do not evolve into new species. Bygren's study of epigenetics would...

It doesn't seem to have made us any better at predicting the future, though; perhaps that would be too much to ask. But what is troubling at a time like this, with the economy on everyone's mind, is how misleading many economic indicators can be about the present...

The Salinger ranks are holding tight, albeit as quietly as their famous client. Marcia Paul, the New York City lawyer who represented Salinger in the 60 Years Later case, had nothing to say when contacted. "I really don't have any comment about anything," she maintained. Likewise, his agent, Phyllis Westberg, is a woman of few words: "J.D. Salinger books will stay in print. I have...
