...year-old Sumerian hymn to Ninkasi, the goddess of brewing. Better still, the guide promises that at the tour's final stop, "visitors can sample all kinds of fresh Tsingtao beer." But first you have to learn how. A display explains the proper procedure for tasting beer: look, swirl, sniff and sip. Then there are vital facts to master: "The nutritional value of beer is outstanding," says the guide. "One glass is equal to four eggs."

Among other things, scientists studying the AO have connected sudden warmings of the stratosphere to outbreaks of wintry weather in Europe and the U.S. Somehow, scientists think, these spikes in stratospheric temperatures weaken the winds that swirl around the Arctic, thereby allowing frigid air to spill out of polar regions and envelop cities like Boston and New York, Berlin and Paris in teeth-chattering cold. Conversely, when stratospheric temperatures cool, strong winds at the surface discourage cold air from dipping so far south. Already, the AO's clear connection...

...Sangiovese grape and the appeal of Italian neorealist films and then--boom--Alexander Payne whacks the top of my knee to emphasize a point. The Nebraskan bonhomie explodes right there on my kneecap. He does it again. And again. He's the kind of guy who can swirl a glass of Pinot Noir like a pro and then down it with a "Cheers...
