The Great Shale Rush in South Texasnew
While it borders on the heretical to say it aloud, judging from very recent shale plays elsewhere in the country — like the Marcellus, the Barnett, the Fayetteville — this may not go down as the century of natural gas, after all.

PA is Ground Zero for the Abortion Clashnew
As the GOP clown car gets ready to sputter eastward for the Pennsylvania primary amid an onslaught of attacks on women’s reproductive rights, it’s a good time to remember that our state has always been, and seemingly always will be, the nerve center of the national abortion debate.

Remix: The Moscow Mulenew
A fresh take on the classic American cocktail. Moscow’s been defanged by perestroika and capitalism, though; we’ve moved on to new bogeymen. This month's Remix reflects that with not just one new drink, but a pair of them, a drinkable Axis of Evil: the tart and refreshing Baghdad Burro and the kimchi-kicked Pyongyang Pony.

Remix: The Champagne Cocktailnew
Instead of a bitters-soaked sugarcube, Florida's February strawberries add sweetness (and a lovely pale-pink tinge) to the wine. To balance the sugar with pucker, I pair the berries with balsamic vinegar – like many of the best couples, strawberries and balsamic may not seem to have much in common, but they bring out the best in each other.

Limoncello Remixednew
Limoncello is a sweet, fiery Italian lemon liqueur. Our Remixed version takes a few shortcuts and adds a surprise – pompelmo (grapefruit) instead of limon, for a more refreshing, bittersweet liqueur that’s perfect mixed with Campari, chilled, or over ice. Drink in moderation – it’s strong stuff.
