Perhaps the most delectable oyster invention of all belongs to Karl Beckley, 34, who combines the mollusks with corn in airy pancakes topped with salmon caviar at his postmodern, pastel-spattered Green Lake Grill. Cream of nettle soup and roast rabbit with sweet peppers and glazed garlic cloves are some of Beckley's other triumphs...
...menu at Alejandra Mirano's restaurant on the dusty main street of Pantasma is as sparse as the surroundings. Brown beans, rice and corn tortillas are the staples, served sometimes with eggs from the hens that cluck about the bare concrete floor.

Denise loves it. In fact virtually all the kids seem to revel in the style...
...past three months alone. Traveling in convoys guarded by ill-equipped Frelimo troops, relief vehicles are easy prey. Fifteen CARE drivers and assistants have lost their lives since 1984. Driver Vincent Joao Mendes was ambushed twelve miles from Maputo last November as he headed north with a truckload of corn. Mendes escaped by leaping from the cab of the truck, but a soldier and two others were wounded by gunfire. "Now I think a lot about my seven children," Mendes says. "I won't be going out of town for a long time...
