Homeward Bound SAUDI ARABIA Five Britons, a Canadian and a Belgian convicted of a series of car bombings in Riyadh, in which one British citizen was killed and four other people injured in 2000, were released from a Saudi prison and deported to the U.K. The men, two of whom had been sentenced to death by beheading, were granted royal clemency...

Neuhaus, the Belgian chocolatier, has brought its superpremium ice cream to the U.S. for the first time, in the form of Snobinettes Glace, which are chocolate shells filled with ultrarich vanilla, coffee or chocolate ice cream. An ice cream and sorbet maker in Dallas called Out of a Flower uses herbs, teas and edible flowers to create its exotic flavors, which include Tequila & Cilantro, Rosemary & Black Peppercorn and Texas Goat Fromage Blanc & Roasted Hazelnuts...
