...fare ranges from Parisian-style dishes, such as terrine of foie gras or entrec?te, to classic Wiener schnitzel?which are pounded flat and nearly as large as a baseball glove. The wine list offers a broad international selection. On a really good expense account? Try the 1985 Ch?teau Mouton Rothschild 1st Cru Class for a mere...
...Cabinet approved three far-reaching security measures. First, it reinstated the death penalty, which Bremer suspended a year ago. It drew up an amnesty plan that is meant to siphon Iraqi nationals from the foreign insurgents.

His rendition of Georgia on My Mind (1960) is about more than a state of the union; it turns longing into a state of grace. Many of his other hits, including Drown in My Own Tears (1955) and Busted (1963), were suffused with despair, but he performed them with such fortitude, they came across as revivifying. Indomitable in life (he overcame a 20-year heroin habit and fathered 11 children) and in song...
