...Pryor has managed to neutralize Iraq as an issue, saying he supports the President. That lets him concentrate on pocketbook issues in a state that, like much of the country, is feeling some pain. "The economy bothers me," says waitress Melissa Hart, as she serves up a foot-long chili dog at Town Pump, a Little Rock suds-and-sandwich shop. "It is sucking. And we need some change."

My Sindhi special featured a delicate green curry of walnut-sized eggplants flavored with cardamom, a spicy red concoction of chili and okra, and dry roasted pumpkin with ginger and cumin. The dessert was gulab jamun, two deep-fried balls of milk dough soaked in syrup. I finished off my meal with lassi, a frothy, sweetened yogurt drink flavored with rose petals. As I got up to pay the bill...
