...arms, religious symbols and the familiar honeycomb pattern (said to resemble interlocking crosses) were used to brand the baked treats. In medieval France, an entire guild was established in 1270 to train the vendors who sold waffles on the street. Because the simplest version only called for flour and water, it soon became a staple of country cooking, though wealthier peasants would add honey, eggs and aromatized wine. The delicacy, according to Geoffrey Chaucer, made for an excellent means of seduction. "He sent her sweetened wine and well-spiced ale/ And waffles piping hot out of the fire," the English...

Pieces in the exhibit offer perspectives on pain, escape, truth, or humor. One print, Sandra Ramos’ “The Damned Circumstances of Water Everywhere,” depicts a near-naked woman lounging in a shape identical to the island nation.

Another of the exhibition’s pieces, Belkis Ayon’s “Resurrection,” shows a head with only...

Nonbelievers may find Foer’s arguments about factory-farming’s human impact more convincing. He enumerates issues of water pollution, abuse of the work force, cutthroat competition with local businesses and near-intolerably low health standards. Foer could have written a book just about these aspects of industrial farming, and it may well have provided a more compelling rationale for choosing vegetarianism. But it would have been less affecting. However, like his novels, “Eating Animals” often uses graphics, such as a small box the size of an industrial chicken cage...

...answer to the question, most likely, is no. Members of Congress love the Corps, because they love to cut ribbons at water projects that steer jobs and money to their districts and donors. Reforms have been stalling on Capitol Hill for a decade. Scandals haven't stopped the madness, and neither has the drowning of a great city. Maybe Judge Duval's ruling will change everything.
