...tall man with stylishly unkempt hair and no beard who wore Western clothes, Zougam hardly looked like an Islamic fundamentalist. He did not appear religious. In Lavapies, a Madrid melting pot of North African, Chinese and Indian immigrants, Zougam ran a locutorio, one of the popular shops where you can make cheap phone calls abroad. The owner of another locutorio says Zougam was an expert in "liberating" phones--altering handsets sold cheaply by service providers to take prepaid SIM, or internal identity, cards.

He is the first chef to win back-to-back best-chef awards from the James Beard Foundation, the Oscars of the restaurant industry. Since 1994 he has devoted himself single-mindedly to cooking in the 17-table French Laundry in the town of Yountville (pop. 2,916). The Napa Valley restaurant is regularly rated as one of the best in the nation--and one of the hardest at which to snare a reservation. Keller grosses about $7.5 million annually there, and his 1999 French Laundry cookbook...
