...Baltimore, the self-proclaimed Hairdo Capital of the World. On Corny Collins' afternoon rock 'n roll show, white teenagers perform all the latest dances and are local heroes to every adolescent. Chief among these starlets is Amber Von Tussle, a snooty princess whose mom, Miss Soft Crab of 1945, pours all her ambition into Amber. Every afternoon the pouty miss must practice the cha-cha and the Mashed Potato under Mom's eagle eye. "I want you to get more close-ups on that show," Mom admonishes, "or I'm sending you to Catholic school!" Eeuuuu...
...fishermen of Yeonpyeong Island call it the Golden Sea: a patch of ocean where the blue crabs are fat and plentiful at this time of year.

The entire island depends on blue crab, so everybody is hurting, according to Choi, who is vice president of the local fishermen's association. Until 1968, Seoul allowed them to fish right up to the edge of North Korean territorial waters. The regulations were changed after North Korea kept detaining and in some cases kidnapping fishermen, more than...
...ingredients like lemongrass. And listen to Le Squer, of Paris' Ledoyen, who says his rigorous training makes it "impossible for me to present a dish that is anything less than perfect." The surf crashing on the rocky coast of his native Brittany inspired his signature dish, dressed spider crab served in its shell with a soufflé of "sea foam." "The soft element melts in the mouth, while the crunchy one releases its flavor beneath the teeth," he says, likening the feel to Häagen-Dazs, "the first to make ice cream with little crunchy bits in it."
