And the quest for a low-calorie bar has long been stymied by the tricky issues of flavor and texture. According to Tschofen, Vulcano - which gets its name from the little air bubbles it contains that conjure up images of volcanic lava - has a crispy, crunchy texture rather than creamy but tastes as good as regular chocolate.

Things get lost--critically important things--even from an experience as profound as the Vietnam War, even as we go deeper into new wars like Afghanistan. And as I now contemplate the departure of a life so central to my own and that of my country as Bob McNamara's, one overriding lesson bombards my mind: nationalist wars, civil wars, tribal and religious wars--they can never be won by Americans...
