 Tough times in Britain for a familiar fat guy - Europe - International Herald Tribune
In an age of vegetarian ciabattas and a zillion kinds of coffee, Little Chef is a processed-ham sandwich of a restaurant, a place where baked beans count as vegetables and a single slice of white bread qualifies as a side dish ($1.60 extra, butter included).
Now Little Chef is up for sale, for the second time in less than three years, after a tough period in which about 130 underperforming outlets were shut down, leaving 234 behind to serve a less-than-grateful nation.
His father is not a fan, while his mother responds to the Little Chef logo the way Pavlov's dogs did to the sound of the bell: No matter where they are, or how far they have to go, she insists on pulling over for a cup of coffee, immediately.

 [No title]
New Orleans will always maintain a qualified competition with every place not washed by the waters of the great valley; but New Orleans is nothing but a local port, after all--of great wealth and importance, beyond a doubt, but not the mart of America.
Thus, New York can legally be deprived of the authority to punish for theft, to lay out highways, to incorporate banks, and all the ordinary interests over which she at present exercises control, every human being within her limits dissenting.
New York, as has already been intimated, at this moment contributes quite as much to the prosperity of London, as it would probably have done had the political connection between England and her colonies never been severed.

 Island's little folk: How close a kin to man? - Health & Science - International Herald Tribune
NEW YORK New discoveries in a cave on the Indonesian island of Flores, notably another jawbone, appear to give additional support to the idea that a separate species of little people, new to science and now extinct, lived there as recently as 12,000 years ago.
The group of Australian and Indonesian researchers said the bones were fragments of nine individuals of unusually small stature, little more than three feet, or one meter, tall, and, judging by one skull, with brains the size of a chimpanzee's.
The implication that made the original discovery a year ago such a sensation was that these "little people of Flores," as they are commonly called, represent a distinct species that shared the earth with modern humans far more recently than anyone had supposed.
