Help arrived in an e-mail from the Viking Range Corp.: Would I like to try its new 30-in. gravity-feed smoker? Faster than you can say baby back ribs, I drove down to a Viking distributor in Hayward, Calif., where a fellow named Mike Love gave me a quick demo of the $3,000 cooker.

The cabbie who drove us back to Tehran said his parents were divided on the election. "My mother supports Mousavi, and my father supports Ahmadinejad," he said.
