...Santos. She drew a packed house for the bout, which was a feat of its own. The tickets were costly in a country where the monthly minimum wage is around $200 and the venue seemed better suited for a circus than an international title fight as vendors hawked caramel apples and cotton candy instead of beer and pretzels. TV ratings, however, define the story in immense dimensions, at least for Peru. The Malpartida-Dos Santos bout attracted the largest single TV audience in the country's viewing history. At one point, two-thirds of the viewing audience was watching...
...Bastille, just across the way from the famous belle époque Brasserie Bofinger. It's roomy, but not too expensive, with a great wine cellar and good traditional fare. I'd have their foie gras to start, then calf's kidneys, a cheese course, and their crème caramel for dessert. And to finish the day off right, I'd hit the Folies Pigalles, tel: (33-1) 4878 5525.

Like floorboards, driven apart over the years by heat and humidity, there’s a divide between the vocals and the instrumentation. Morrissey has given in entirely to his natural tendency to caramel crooning, and, nearly always stalled in throaty vibrato, sounds more like a second-rate Broadway singer than a rock star. Gone is the occasional roughness, the edge of the lead singer of the Smiths, a thinness that emphasized the honeyed richness of his voice even more. Now it?...
...Many dishes here are traditional Thai gone the bland way of all tourism. But order wisely to score a rare northeastern-style curry of thick greens with hed thob (tiny mushrooms) or thousand-year eggs deep fried with basil. Besides, Taling Pling serves one mean caramel-lined banana cream...
