...Pure semi-sweet chocolate whisked over the double burner with 14 percent vanilla extract,” he says with obvious pride. I’m handed a white plastic tasting spoon and instructed to take a scoop. It’s reminiscent of a chilled cup of Burdick’s cocoa, without the stomach-sinking consistency...
Israel is the only country that has openly confronted the difficult issue of protecting the civil liberties of the ticking bomb terrorist. The Israeli Supreme Court recently ruled that despite the potential benefits of employing non-lethal torture to extract information, the tactic is illegal. Brutal torture, including lethal torture, is commonplace in nearly every other Middle Eastern and Muslim country. Indeed, American authorities sometimes send suspects to Egypt, Jordan and the Philippines precisely because they know that they will be tortured in those countries...

When I replied that I was in the middle of Dr. Faustus, she gestured to a portrait behind me, casually remarking, “Marlowe was a Corpus man, you know.” Awestruck, I turned around to look as I tried to extract my knife from difficult piece of turkey, which proceeded to fly across the table and land squarely on the plate of the Master of the College.

...Andor. Abraham was known for thumping children with a stick if they failed in their recitations. But he was also fearless: once leaping into a whirlpool on the River Tisza in his flowing black caftan to rescue a drowning child.

...wind energies are intermittent: when the sky is cloudy or the breeze dies down, fossil fuel or nuclear plants must kick in to compensate. But scientists are working on better ways to store electricity from renewable sources. Current from wind, solar or geothermal energy can be used to extract hydrogen from water molecules. In the future, hydrogen could be stored in tanks, and when energy is needed, the gas could be run through a fuel cell, a device that combines hydrogen with oxygen. The result: pollution-free electricity, with water as the only by-product. Already fuel-cell buses, cars...
