Comparing 'Atlantic' staff retreats: St. Barts or Atlantic City?
2/18/12 7:53 AM
The Atlantic is flying senior executives and editors to the French Caribbean destination. Last year, junior staffers were sent to ... Atlantic City. But is a volcanic island resort in the Caribbean really that much better than the rundown gambling den of the "armpit of America"?

PETA thinks animal cruelty and porn are the perfect match
9/20/11 11:00 AM
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' print ads are less about provocation than titillation, revealing as much nudity as the Norfolk-based nonprofit thinks it can get away with. Butt cracks are fair game, apparently, but nipples are not. Some might argue that it's one step removed from soft-core porn. But wait, what's this? PETA is actually launching a porn site? Yes.

Wild mushrooms send two local men on a trip — to the hospital!
9/26/11 2:58 PM
We can understand the temptation to eat wild mushrooms. For one, they're free.They're also kind of fun to hunt. And who knows? Maybe you'll find the right ones to replicate that legendary, um, trip to Palenque, Mexico.

Only in California is the smog worse than it is here
9/21/11 1:22 PM
If you happen to live in Los Angeles and were thinking of escaping the notorious air pollution there by moving to our region, you might want to reconsider. Washington is tied with Baltimore for sixth on a list of the country's smoggiest "areas," behind only cities in California, and are tied for third among "large metropolitan areas," behind Riverside-Bernadino and Los Angeles–Long Beach.
