The locals have never rated matsutake highly (they call them "dirt-termite mushrooms") and still can't believe the prices they fetch. "Before the Japanese came, there were so many songrong, we would use baskets to gather them," Sui-nong recalls. "We'd put them in soup or sell them at the market for three yuan [35?] a kilo."

...military secrets to Israel. Ever since the Pollard affair, Israel has publicly insisted it no longer spies on the U.S. "I can tell you here very authoritatively, very categorically, Israel does not spy on the United States," Israel's U.S. ambassador, Daniel Ayalon said last week.
