...avoid ostentation. The clear soup arrived, an important kaiseki moment. When we lifted the lacquer lids, an aromatic tsunami swept us away. Matsutake mushrooms! Pairing the first fall mushrooms with the last summer hamo, or conger eel, pinpointed the season exactly. The sashimi course was a spectacular return to Indian summer. It was served not on priceless china but on a dewy lotus leaf, which unfurled to reveal two slices of raw sea bass, another couplet of fatty tuna and a torigai clam on crushed ice. More fresh leaves covered the hassun, a tray containing a medley of elaborate bites...
...President Pervez Musharraf. India's security establishment views Musharraf's political troubles from the perspective of regional stability, sharing with Washington the concern that priority be given to the campaign against the forces of Islamist fundamentalism in Pakistan.

No matter what Canberra does, the effects on the world's climate "are likely to be extremely small," says Australian National University economist Alex Robson, "almost certainly zero." Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull argues, with Howard, that climate change cannot be addressed without coordinated action by all major emitters. But Labor, he says, takes the view that "we must purify ourselves, regardless of how poor it makes us to become pure...
...India, tea has always been more than a business. Tea drinking is as much a part of the national culture as playing cricket or watching Bollywood movies. And like those other Indian institutions, it is changing rapidly. Nearly half the population is under 25, and young people have been drinking more coffee and cola, leaving the tea in their parents' drawing rooms. Teamakers are trying to woo them back with home brew--whether instant, iced or canned, black, green or white...
