Pride is a difficult concept to quantify, but for China, the Olympics provide a simple calculation for its ascent. Two decades ago in Seoul, China won just five golds. By 2004 in Athens, the country's 32-medal gold rush was second only to that of the U.S. Now China is hoping its home-turf advantage in Beijing will vault it into first place. If the People's Republic succeeds, the controversies over protests in Tibet, arms for Darfur, Steven Spielberg's pulling out as adviser to the Games--all that loss of face to date will have been worth...

Then, according to highly specific instructions laid out in the company handbook, they take, prepare and deliver orders. But in a twist on the concept that the customer is king, the wait staff's salutation is sudar or sudarynia, archaic Russian terms for "master" and "mistress." Teremok's fare consists not of American-style burgers but of Russian-style blini, the traditional thin pancakes, delivered with chain-restaurant consistency at fast-food prices. For 43 rubles (less...
...original concept and menu haven't changed much in 10 years, but the scale of production has increased dramatically. "If you're chopping 100 kg of mushrooms, you do it one way," Goncharov says. "If it's 200 kg of mushrooms, you do it a totally different way." The company has upgraded factories four times, and now has a 4,000-sq-m site...
