...dessert, the Great Wall of Chocolate. In fact, as far as chefs go, the company says the less exposure to Chinese food, the better. "We've hired some Chinese chefs in the U.S., but we weren't successful because they had their own habits, and old habits are hard to break," says Roberto DeAngelis, P.F. Chang's director of international operations. "So we'd rather have someone new." (See why Chinese-American food is so different from the real thing...

...separatists rose up against India; Islamabad supported some of them, as well as groups of cross-border militants. To put down this multiheaded insurgency, New Delhi sent in what amounts now to a presence of 700,000 troops (among a civilian population of just 5 million).

Sarkozy's efforts there and in later Cabinet posts boosted his popularity just as he was consolidating his control of the conservative Union for a Popular Majority (UMP) ahead of the 2007 presidential race. Chirac, however, remained furious over...

...hard to feel sorry for America's family doctors. Any job that averages $179,000 per year and lets you be your own boss is a job most folks wouldn't turn down. With the effort to rein in health-care costs increasingly framed as an unhappy trade-off in which insurers either slash benefits or raise premiums, some in Washington are beginning to ask a question long considered off-limits: Do we simply pay doctors too much...
