...article, "Noodling together," about the intersection of Italian and Chinese food in Hong Kong, was interesting, but the notion that Hong Kong kids are "pestering their 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...
...Right now, there aren't any grocery stores or restaurants for 40 miles. On the edge of town, Sonny Meaux, 52, is selling fresh-caught crabs and Cokes from a shed sporting a "Holly Beach, Ground Zero for Hurricane Rita" sign. He says there are rumors that high rises are going to be built on the beach. He won't sell his land for less than $5 million. "I figure I'm gonna be the last one standing because of my price," he says. Out in the harbor, fisherman are catching pogies - in an area that has not been fished...

(The biography of Darryl Zanuck, production chief at Warners and then 20th Century-Fox, was titled Don't Say Yes Until I Finish Talking.) Today's executives must look back on that so-called Golden Age with the lost-Eden ache of an antebellum plantation master or ball club owner from...
...just how fragile the peace can be became clear last weekend when a gunfight erupted in Lebanon's central Bekaa Valley only days after Resolution 1701 was adopted. Israel said that a commando operation was aimed at preventing a fresh shipment of arms from reaching Hizballah guerrillas. Hizballah officials believe that the commandos sought to abduct or kill Sheikh Mohammed Yazbek, a prominent Shi'ite cleric and Hizballah official with close ties to Iran...
Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just smacked them across the face. Well, then, by that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11, the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, still fresh in their minds, Americans watched Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on live TV. Anyone who didn't know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made much worse by our own lack of ambition--our willful blindness to risk as much as our reluctance...
