...boxes a week for his customers. On any given Monday morning, an arbitrager on his way to the coast will stop by to pick up his deluxe, shiny white box.

Fellow passengers look on jealously, perhaps not suspecting that this discerning gent finds $95 a small price to pay for being spared an airline lunch...
...avoid the "bean-counting" disputes over troop numbers that have stalled conventional cuts for years, the NATO ministers agreed to seek more verifiable limits on the firepower of both sides. In tanks, for example, they proposed a cap of 20,000, which would require a Warsaw Pact drawdown of 31,500 and a NATO retirement of only 2,000.

The latter is a very generous portion (a dozen large-to-middling size shrimps) in a sauce made complex by the addition of fermented black beans. The beans are the basis of a rich sauce of their own in Cantonese cookery. Here their aromas blend with the Szechwan bouquet in a way that I find very novel. Perhaps this is the "continental cuisine" of Taipei, where Chef Hou won his epaulettes at a major hotel...
