...Booth followed the advice, ingesting more new food, culture and adventure in those three years than most people manage in a lifetime. He eventually returned to Britain, supported himself as a truck driver, legal clerk, wine steward, English teacher and, only after he turned 40, a writer. But that boyhood hunger for discovery would help shape 13 novels, six books of children's fiction and 10 nonfiction works of history, biography, criticism and reportage. Add his mountain of articles, television scripts and poems, plus the 400 books by other poets (including Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney) that...
...make eating less more interesting? By serving menu items in unusual increments. Looking to appeal to diet-conscious diners, restaurants are jumping on the new trend. In New York City, at Pinch, pizza is sold not by the slice but by the inch, while the restaurant Cru provides wine by the half glass. And the Post House offers spoonfuls of strawberry shortcake and banana-cream pie for people who want a lighter dessert after a steak-house-size meal. At the Meritage restaurant in the Boston Harbor Hotel, guests can order just a spoonful of entrees like flash-fried Nantucket...
It’s noon by the time I end up at the train station. When I left, the orange-labeled bottle had disappeared.

For 1,200 years--from the mid-700s B.C. to the end of the 4th century A.D.--tens of thousands of spectators from across the ancient world descended on the fields of Olympia to watch athletes compete. Wars were suspended, clothes were stripped off, and wine was devoured in what was the premodern equivalent of Woodstock, the Super Bowl and a suburban key party. In their 2004 bid, the Greeks promised not just to reference their history but also to re-create it. The shot-put event would be staged amid the ruins of ancient Olympia...
Though winemaking began as early as 2200 B.C. in Greece, most Americans associate the country with retsina, a traditional, pine-resin-flavored wine. Now U.S. consumers are embracing a wider range of oinos. Sales of Greek brands were up 18% last year--and those going for the Olympics may hasten the trend. The wines are made from indigenous grapes unfamiliar to most Americans. Some to try: Moschofilero yields aromatic whites like Boutari's Moschofilero. Agiorgitiko is the grape in the herbaceous 14-18h Rose (the name refers to the number of hours the fresh grape juice remains in contact...
