...trend. TV's Fractured Fairy Tales parodied Grimm classics, as have movies like The Princess Bride and Ever After and the books on which Shrek and Wicked were based. And highbrow postmodern and feminist writers, such as Donald Barthelme and Angela Carter, Robert Coover and Margaret Atwood, used the raw material of fairy stories to subvert traditions of storytelling that were as ingrained in us as breathing or to critique social messages that their readers had been fed along with their strained peas...
...Mayweather, who has some of the quickest hands on the planet, was able to land a good shot to De La Hoya's cranium, but the Golden Boy wasn't hurt.

India has lost thousands of acres of its sweet-smelling sandalwood trees, for instance, over the past decades. If that trend continues, it will be even harder for fragrance-and-flavor companies to develop the next blockbuster smell or taste. Already, for every five to 10 samples perfumers dream up and perfect, just one generates a sale...
