Ever since the 1970s, when scientists first learned to snip individual fragments from the hundreds of thousands of genes in the nuclei of mammalian cells, the behavior of the isolated segments interacting with cells in a laboratory dish has been studied extensively, an approach with obvious limitations. "A new gene in cell culture can't walk funny or think strange thoughts or do what it had planned to do," says David Baltimore, director of the Whitehead Institute and a Nobel-prizewinning biologist. "You need to trace its course through a living, breathing organism...
...crazy ideas," he says. While at Trotter's, where he was promoted to sous chef, he filed the first of his 38 kitchen-utensil patents. In early 2004, he opened Moto and soon became known for two inventions: herb-stuffed silverware that enhances the olfactory experience of a dish and an insulated polymer box that bakes raw fish in front of the diner's eyes...

Co-author Chauhan, himself a Kenyan-born Indian, has substituted olive oil for ghee, reflecting modern health concerns. The result is a compendium of dishes that will have the home chef salivating. Prawns are slow-cooked with fenugreek, Mombasa-style; there's a decadent (but narcotic-free) dish called Opium Eggs; and pork is prepared with tamarind, chili and red wine. Conservative use of spices is another feature of the book...
After senior tri-captain Nicole Corriero erased several Laker leads with four goals in regulation, she delivered the dish to linemate Julie Chu on a 2-on-1 breakaway for the game-winning tally 12:28 into the third extra period...

The calculation is that people might start listening to Blair again if he sits there and responds to whatever they dish out. In Highnam, it seems to do the job. People focus mostly on concrete problems like disabled access and lousy school lunches. He's a good listener, and an aide takes down addresses to send follow-up letters. Blair gets a chance to repeat ad nauseam the themes of Labour's campaign: the Tories will cut spending, our economy...
