...homeless people about how they felt when they'd gone for a day without eating. What they could quantify was exactly how often people said that "We worried whether our food would run out before we got money to buy more," and how often they had cut the size of meals or skip them all together. As a result, we now get a study that paints an even more scientifically accurate portrait of an even more deeply divided country. The Dow is as plump as its ever been, and 4 million families skip meals because they sometimes have no choice...

For the moment, Max is safely secreted with a friend in the countryside, beyond the jurisdiction of the Beijing municipality's strict rules limiting each city household to a single dog, and limiting its size. While the regulations have existed in various forms for years, enforcement has been lax until recently. Many owners of oversize dogs had previously simply walked their German shepherds and golden retrievers under cover darkness. But a recent crackdown by Beijing police - ostensibly aimed at curbing rabies, a rash of attacks and other...
