...Achatz of Chicago's Alinea Restaurant. "There's a huge misconception that the food here will be science-y. It's food." He concedes that there "are tons of steps" in his Alinea (Ten Speed Press; $50), but, he says, "a well-written recipe is as simple as a fourth-grade story." And since not all fourth-graders have an antigriddle (a cooktop that freezes rather than heats), Achatz notes that a cookie sheet atop dry ice will suffice...
...Harvard men’s basketball team was picked to finish fourth in the Ivy League preseason media poll, published two weeks ago. For a squad that struggled mightily last season, posting a 3-11 mark in the Ivy League and an 8-22 record overall, something seems awry. To rise from the bottom to the top in one year, something big has to change. That something big was 6’10” super-recruit Andrew Van Nest.

It "cannot support embarked troops, cargo or landing craft" - its primary mission - according to a report obtained by the independent Navy Times. Navy officials say the third and fourth vessels are performing much better. The rush to produce the fleet might make military sense if they were needed, but the last time Marines stormed ashore - the key reason the taxpayers are spending $14 billion on the San Antonio and at least eight more ships just like it - was nearly 60 years...
...Barkat won with 50.7% of the vote to Porush's 42.05%. A Jewish Russian billionaire and former arms dealer, Arcady Gyadamak, failed in his bid to turn out the city's Arabs, who traditionally boycott the elections. He placed a distant third in the polls with 3.51%, while a fourth candidate, a bar owner who campaigned to legalize marijuana, collected one half percent of the vote...
