...think that your lifelong relationship with food prepared you at all for your role as a restaurant critic? Or did it work against you? I think a little bit of both. You can't do this job without loving food in a deep and expansive way. My relationship with food was a love-hate relationship. I hated my inability to control my intake and I hated what food would do to my body, but the love part was real and deep. My family taught me that food was worth caring about and sweating over. I still believe that...
Lewis is arguably the pioneer of the telethon - an indelibly American tradition that has since been adapted around the world to benefit various charities. But the first telethons managed to do without Lewis' particular brand of boosterism for a good four years after their debut in 1951, when a "television fund-raising marathon" - you can see why the name was shortened - aired to help raise money for victims of cerebral palsy.

These reports received considerable coverage by newspapers and television stations throughout the United States and Europe. A year later, many of these same outlets would, without irony, breathlessly cover the story of young people in Iran struggling bravely for democracy against an ideologically rigid regime. (See pictures of the long shadow of Ayatullah Khomeini...
...Without access to the daily lives of teachers and their students, studies on Iranian schooling have proven to reveal more about their authors and our shifting preconceptions of Iran than any sort of reality on the ground. The truth is that postrevolutionary schooling in the Islamic Republic has not gone according to plan. The country's public schools face many of the same challenges as U.S. schools: a largely urban school system sagging under the weight of a too-large student population (two- and three-shift schools are not uncommon), poorly paid and demoralized teachers constrained by a highly centralized...
