...NUDGE: IMPROVING DECISIONS ABOUT HEALTH, WEALTH, AND HAPPINESS (Yale University Press; 293 pages), the two University of Chicago professors sketch a new approach to public policy that takes into account the odd realities of human behavior, like the deep and unthinking tendency to conform, even in areas--like energy consumption--where conformity is irrelevant.

It was this story, and the discovery that the fortune cookie is not Chinese, that sparked Lee’s mission to learn more about the dessert. This search leads her to examine, tangentially, other facets of the American Chinese food industry: the ubiquity of the take-out menu, the popularity of chop suey, the integral role played by Chinese...
