Before I arrived I fearfully pictured my host mom stuffing unidentifiable meat and cheese down my throat, ready to fatten up any young girl in sight. Instead, I discovered that she carefully watches the weight of her daughter and follows an American book’s advice about eating according to one of the four food groups it delineates. She was shocked I hadn’t heard of the diet guide. These American contributions to modern Russia make the McDonald’s near the Winter Palace seem like a positive cultural addition...
...eyed cows and soft-hearted kids. To impressionable young minds, vegetarianism can sound sensible, ethical and--as nearly 25% of adolescents polled by Teenage Research Unlimited said--"cool." College students think so too. A study conducted by Arizona State University psychology professors Richard Stein and Carol Nemeroff reported that, sight unseen, salad eaters were rated more moral, virtuous and considerate than steak eaters.

"Kids today are the first generation to live in a culture where vegetarianism is common, where...
...managing director of Vestas. Sigaard says the future is likely to see more offshore wind farms like the one his company is building at Horns Rev.

He was mesmerized by a musket demonstration in Great Falls, Mont., and the sight of a stuffed grizzly bear in nearly every public building, though he did question the need to drive 200 miles to see if Sacagawea's landmark of Beaverhead Rock really looks like one. (From the right angle, yes.) We hope you'll be inspired to see for yourself, because...
...Sober but sick," said Bill Clinton on catching sight of Russian President Boris Yeltsin at the Cologne G-8 summit in 1999. Clinton was a shrewd judge of his counterpart's state. By the end of Clinton's presidency, writes Strobe Talbott in his excellent new book, The Russia Hand (Random House; 478 pages), the American had met Yeltsin almost as many times as Clinton's nine predecessors combined had met their Russian equals...
