...traditional Indian meal demands a healthy portion of naan--leavened bread baked in a tandoor oven-- to accompany the main course. The Club does not fail. Rogini Naan ($1.95) is lightly buttered and a welcome tonic to a mouthful of some of the spicier entrees. However, the mindful diner will not bother spending an extra dollar for Stuffed Kulcha, as the bread with cheese tastes almost exactly the same as its Rogini cousin. One can barely taste the cheese--in fact, the familiar smell of feet does not even accompany these curds...
...White House in 1994, Kathleen Willey's day-to-day life has become hand-to-mouth. She has worked as a receptionist at a Richmond hair salon. During the 1996 presidential campaign, Willey was in the middle of a four-month stint at the city's Montana Gold Bread Co., a place she used to patronize. With a T shirt, an apron and a bandanna, she was responsible for the cinnamon rolls early in the day and later for muffins, kneading bread and waiting on the clientele. "I thought she might be a snob at first when...
...Accra's poorest and most neglected neighborhoods. 31st December runs tree-planting programs, immunizes children, offers family-planning services and initiates rural-development projects. Once funded by foreign donors, it now gets 95% of its operating funds from income-generating programs, one of which provides the army with bread and a local staple called kenkey.

...weeks ago, after the White House dinner for British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the New Yorker's editor, Tina Brown, composed a "Fax from Washington" that she ran in her magazine's Talk of the Town section. It was a memorable bread-and-butter note, a valentine to her host, the President, written in the prose of a Harlequin romance: she sees "a man in a dinner jacket with more heat than any star in the room...his height, his sleekness, his newly cropped, iron-filing hair." Forget, wrote Brown, "all the Beltway halitosis breathed upon his image...
...talking bread lines here. There are still jobs to be had--at exorbitant pay levels. At the end of last year securities-industry employment stood at a record 286,000. But that's up only 10% from 10 years ago. In the same period New York Stock Exchange trading volume (a proxy for how much business Wall Street does) increased 178%, and the industry last year posted record pretax profits of $12.2 billion. More work. More profit. Relatively few people. Sound familiar? Wall Street hadn't been totally left out. Its firms have been merging practically forever, but seldom...
