...each issue, both true. As LeRoy vanishes into thin air, he reveals our ever-ephemeral grasp on truth and reality. Our world depends on a haphazard balance between manipulated images, unfiltered images, and direct experience. And upon this arbitrary and artificial backdrop—a reality far from terra firma—we play out our personal simulations. It’s an uncomfortable idea: Our existence, seemingly solid and objective, is no less artificial, constructed, and illusory than LeRoy.So vive le LeRoy’s of this world; they represent the ultimate expression of our age, more true...
...more efficiently. The help may not reverse the chain-restaurant juggernaut, but it gives small restaurants a fighting chance. Even before the Avendra deal, many chapters had developed their own local buying programs. Under Tucson's plan, in which restaurants buy in bulk at common suppliers, Luria's Caf Terra Cotta saved $100,000 on food costs last year--3% of its total sales for the year--without changing its menu.

Iraqi politicians remain bitterly divided over who will ultimately control the country's massive oil resources under its new constitution. Yet as that argument raged, DNO quietly hired the seismic company Terra Seis (Malta) Ltd. to survey its area. The results were stunningly clear. "We could tell very quickly that there was structure containing hydrocarbons," says Kevin Plintz, a Canadian geophysicist who owns Terra Seis. That wasn't too surprising in Tawke, where generations have watched oil seep out on the surrounding...
...Falah Mustafa Bakir, senior aide to Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani, over coffee in Kurdistan's capital, Arbil. "It is the future, our means of prosperity." Sarbez Hawrami, ceo of Kurdistan's government-run Oil & Gas Petrochemical Establishment, says "about seven British companies" have approached him to discuss deals. Terra Seis now has 12 seismic machines in Kurdistan working for five oil companies, with a list of others waiting for its services. In the 40-year-old Taq Taq field east of Arbil, two Turkish firms are producing oil for local consumption, and one is drilling three new wells. Last...
