Work: The World in Photographs
10/04/2006
In Sri Lanka, there used to be fisherman who sat on perches at the edge of the ocean, catching fish in the breaking waves. The tsunami put them out of work. Today, we explore the changing nature of jobs around the world. We also get the latest recipes from chef Greg Atkinson.At 2:07 p.m. - The United States of Arugula
One day we woke up and realized that our "macaroni" had become "pasta", that our Wonder Bread had been replaced by organic whole wheat, that sushi was fast food, and that our tomatoes were heirlooms. How did all this happen, and who made it happen? The United States of Arugula is the rollicking, revealing chronicle of how gourmet eating in America went from obscure to pervasive, thanks to the contributions of some outsized, opinionated iconoclasts who couldn't abide the status quo. Author David Kamp speaks with Megan Sukys.
