His lab can reduce a blackberry bouquet into its precise chemical constituents, and then tell the paying customer how to put them into his own vintage. After seeing the film, Rolland launched an ad hominem attack claiming Nossiter "must have grown up, like so many Americans, surrounded by Coca-Cola, hamburgers and The Muppet Show." That weirdly...

...watching his son Naoya lead the 2004 tumbling squad to victory. "When I was an athlete who won, I was happy," said the elder Tsukahara. "But as a father, I am proud. And that emotion is even more powerful than just happiness." Clutching her son's victory bouquet in one hand and a bunch of bananas in the other, in case the champion needed a postcompetition potassium boost, Naoya's mother confided: "Back in 1976, I had this dream that Japan would win gold, and they did.
