...global warming may exacerbate the threat - an unsettling thought, given the viciousness of the disease. "The plague bacillus is probably the most pathogenic infectious agent on the planet right now, and we still don't know why it's so virulent," says Elisabeth Carniel, a plague expert at the Institut Pasteur in Paris. It may no longer make history, but plague hasn't lost its terrifying power...

What's legally defined as "champagne" in most of the world comes only from a specific 84,000-acre (34,000 hectares) region. An 80-year-old French law carefully maps where the grapes--pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay--can be grown. The Institut National de l'Origine et de la Qualité (INAO) determines exactly how much the winegrowers can produce--this year's harvest is expected to bring in 400 million bottles. With a steadily increasing demand, winemakers have asked French regulators to commit what would once have been considered heresy: to redefine or even expand the boundaries...

...there is life after his brand of New German Cinema. The Harvard Film Archive (HFA) recognizes this salvation in an upcoming series: “Growing Up: The Films of Hans-Christian Schmid,” running from Nov. 18 through 21. The series, co-presented by the Goethe Institut Boston, aims to introduce an American audience to the varied oeuvre of Schmid. Though his work is highly-regarded within German-speaking countries, it remains internationally obscure when compared to the few recent German breakthrough films such as Tom Twyker’s “Run Lola Run?...

...main reason the country hasn't been able to reform itself is because it never put enough money into the effort. The slew of measures he proposed, including more kindergartens and higher unemployment benefits for low-paid workers, would cost more than €35 billion, according to the Institut de l'Entreprise, a pro-business think tank. There wasn't a word about how any of it would be financed. The left is even more fractious but, barring a huge last-minute upset, Ségolène Royal will be anointed the Socialist Party's candidate later this month...
