The first point of discussion on the route to the heritage status is the question of what constitutes a real pretzel. While the Wurttembergische variant has a higher fat content and thinner, crispier arms, the Bavarian pretzel is also…

Debt forgiveness will free up hundreds of billions of dollars for new consumer spending that could be aimed at homebuying and other big-ticket expenses, according to economists who said this would add a new wrinkle to the country’s inflation fight. The actions are “for…
