...sometimes you can find home in unlikely places. Many evenings after work, staff at the Czech mission to the E.U. gather in a Congolese bar called Beverly Hills, in the African neighborhood Matonge. It's one of the few places in Brussels with Pilsner Urquell on tap. Mission spokeswoman Petra Masínová calls the experience "strange but pleasant; the beer is good and well-chilled." If only the owner could be persuaded to add roast pork with sauerkraut and dumplings to the menu...
...country where ankle baring is saucy, a spokeswoman in a red-hot bikini is a candidate for eternal damnation. VIDA SAMADZAI, 25, an Afghan-born college student whose family fled to the U.S. in 1996, is the first woman in 31 years to compete in a beauty contest as Miss Afghanistan.

It seems only right that she died in the land where she had enjoyed her greatest moments and won her most fervent admirers...
...develop properly. After they reach age 2, you've got to be on the lookout for saturated fats as well. "You don't want people to think trans fats are the only bad guys," says Alice Lichtenstein, a nutrition professor at Tufts University in Boston and a frequent spokeswoman for the American Heart Association. "If a cracker has 2% trans and 2% saturated fat, it's better than 7% saturated and 0% trans." Finally, no matter how low McDonald's reduces the amount of trans fat in its French fries, they are never going to be a health food. Which...
