...Readers who want less "taking apart" and more "devouring" will be glad to move on to Reynaud's abundance of recipes based on dishes from his Parisian restaurant, Villa9Trois. They range from simple and straightforward (ham-and-gherkin sandwiches, croque-monsieur snacks) to elaborate and exotic (jugged wild boar with spelt-and-saffron risotto, pot-roast confit with lemon-flavored coriander salad). All are enticingly photographed by Marie-Pierre Morel, though some of the dishes are not for the squeamish. For example, a hearty stew introduced early in the book lists pig's liver, pig's kidneys...
...Blackwater and other security contractors are a ubiquitous presence in Iraq. The skies buzz with their single-striped Little Bird helicopters. When I was a correspondent in Baghdad in 2004, Blackwater convoys were notorious for bringing a Wild West mentality to the streets of Baghdad. They were easily identifiable--speeding white suvs with black-tinted windows and automatic weapons pointed at you. Hired guns are even more in evidence at the checkpoints in Baghdad's Green Zone, although there is a hierarchy as to who guards what.

Instead, at the edge of town, he built a sanctuary for gorillas, chimpanzees, wild pigs, deer and other animals rescued from hunter traps or injured on the roads. His self-financed foundation is part scientific institute, part environmental lobby, part zoo. His latest project is to have Port Gentil's schoolchildren plant thousands of palm trees around town. If his oil industry friends thought...
...bottom of the eighth, the Spartans blew the game open with a three-run rally off sophomore pitcher Hampton Foushee. Tampa, ranked third in Division II baseball, received RBI singles from Charlie Raley and Noah Brannon and also scored a run on a wild pitch in the inning. Junior Brad Unger, Harvard’s starter, dug himself into a hole, committing three errors and walking three batters on top of giving up six hits. Unger allowed four runs in 3 1/3 innings, only one of which was earned. The Crimson was sloppy on defense as a unit, making...
