Versatile and resilient, the lobster survives by molting, shedding its skin and growing into a new, bigger shell. Red Lobster said it planned to reduce its locations as it prepared to to sell most of its assets. In the meantime, surviving Red Lobster restaurants will remain open. It has been a painful, slow end for Red Lobster, whose death throes were telegraphed earlier this year when the company reportedly sought to restructure its debt. After decades as a General Mills subsidiary, Red Lobster was purchased by a private equity firm in 2014, and bolstered by a 2020 investment from a Thai seafood conglomerate.

And so in the tedious march of life, we find joy in small things: The rising of the sun. The greasy snap of a well-dressed potato crisp. Life affords no simple pleasures, and even that delectable crunch comes with a weighty debate: How much potato doth a true crisp — chip, to the Americans — contain? This — and several other probing questions of the crisp aficionado — was immortalized by a British tax appeals court last week, which ruled that Walkers Sensations Poppadoms, the fluffy, non-crisp-appearing potato medallions, are, in fact, the same as potato crisps. Among them: Is a Jaffa Cake a cake, or a biscuit?

For two and a half hours on Wednesday, German border officers were up against an unlikely foe: the Terminator. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the movie-star-turned-former-California-governor, found himself on the wrong side of customs at Munich International Airport when a routine inspection unearthed a luxury watch that the action star had failed to declare. Mr. Schwarzenegger was reportedly en route to his native Austria from Los Angeles when customs officers at Munich discovered the watch, which the actor told customs officials was to be sold for charity, according to local news reports and a spokesman for the Munich airport’s customs division. A dinner event and auction for Mr. Schwarzenegger’s Climate Initiative charity was scheduled to be held in Austria on Thursday evening.

Yet another woman was given up to an orphanage by a vindictive grandmother, trying to break up her son’s marriage. Theirs are but a sliver of stories that have rattled Norway’s — and, potentially, greater Europe’s — robust foreign adoptions industry. On Tuesday, one of Norway’s top policy bodies recommended a halt to all foreign adoptions amid a probe into allegations of stolen children, forged paperwork and illegal, adoption-for-profit schemes. On the same day, Denmark’s sole foreign adoption agency announced it would be winding down its own operations following similar concerns. The recommendation in Norway, sweeping in its scope, took all sides of the adoption debate by surprise.
