...colors and sounds are a world away from [90's TV chef] David Rosengarten's information-filled but unmoist monologues, delivered from a wobbly, faux- kitchen set.

In a prison closer to home, the Administration is fitfully grappling with Obama's pledge to close the Guantanamo prison next January, perhaps by holding some suspected terrorists indefinitely on U.S. soil.
