...parents for 'Italian wontons' (ravioli)" seems to have dropped from the sky. People in Hong Kong are more accustomed to eating Cantonese fresh shrimp dumplings, which have a thinner wrap than the Italian version. The reference to the "shared use of thick tomato sauce as the basis of many dishes" in Italian and Chinese cuisine was also puzzling. Go to any Cantonese restaurant, and you will be hard-pressed to find a dish whose sauce is based on ketchup. Jude K.C. Lam Hong Kong Defining the Crisis Lisa Beyer's analysis of why the Middle East crisis isn't really...
...year-old decided to make him a sandwich. She tore holes in the bread with chunks of too-cold butter, stuck on a slice of ham and smeared the lot with enough hot English mustard to make a shark weep. Len ate it as though it were the finest dish ever offered to him, licked his lips and said, "Lucy, that was so delicious I simply have to have another." She beamed with joy and triumph; it was an expression he made appear on many faces throughout his glorious life...

You go to Sicily and how corrupt! Half of that is true." In his book, Severgnini cooks up a compromise dish: "Let's just say that Italy is an offbeat purgatory, full of proud, tormented souls, each of whom is convinced he or she has a hotline to the boss...
...this summer that they would develop new cell lines through somatic cell nuclear transfer, or therapeutic cloning. In this process, a cell from a patient with diabetes, for instance, is inserted into an unfertilized egg whose nucleus has been removed; then it is prodded into growing in a petri dish for a few days until its stem cells can be harvested. Unlike fertility-clinic embryos, these cells would match the patient's DNA, so the body would be less likely to reject a transplant derived from them. Even more exciting for researchers, however, is that this technique can yield embryos...
...scientific or medical reason, but purely to address a religious issue." The most exciting new possibility doesn't go near embryos at all. Dr. Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University reported tantalizing success in taking an adult skin cell, exposing it to four growth factors in a petri dish and transforming it into an embryo-like entity that could produce stem cells--potentially sidestepping the entire debate over means and ends...
