...Parkheuvel, his Rotterdam restaurant, where the menu features more elaborate dishes, including ravioli stuffed with shoulder of pork and grilled turbot with an anchovy cream. Escoffier would be proud. "You can get so much pleasure from very simple things," says Savoy. "This morning, I feasted on a slice of bread and salted butter." Visit his Paris restaurant (also called Guy Savoy), and the dishes will be more sophisticated (and more expensive) than your basic baguette and beurre. But they'll be created in the same spirit.

R stands for nothing: it was just the next code letter available in 1986 when the police decided to set up their own communications-security branch. These days the Directorate's bread-and-butter work is computer and mobile-phone fraud. But their biggest nightmare - and that of their counterparts in Western Europe and the U.S. - is digital attack. "This, unfortunately, is the future face of terrorism," says Dmitri Chepchugov, head of Directorate R. So far, politically motivated computer attacks have been...
