...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. Savoy likes to work with a single ingredient, emphasizing the multiplicity of flavors and textures. Take...

Still, most of Italy's organized crime network has been ordering up fewer hits, the number of which had peaked in 1982 when there were more than 700 murders in Palermo and the surrounding towns. These days the Mob's prime focus is on butter not guns. And to make the profits multiply, top bosses have turned to that prototype man in the tailored suit.
