...become a Master of Wine (an international group of fewer than 300 experts so certified by London's Institute of Masters of Wine). But hers does not, on first perusal, come across as a serious work. The cover image of Lee posing in a flowing red evening gown isn't calculated to enhance the book's credibility, and there appears to have been no budget for original food photography - so the reader is served up stock-house images of congealing soups and stone-cold stir-fries (or so they appear), devoid of context. Then there are the baffling omissions: Asian...

It still isn't very easy, but the past few years have been much better. A new Palestinian government quietly began to restore order and emphasize economic growth. Israel removed many, but not all, checkpoints. Royal now has 360 employees, new product lines - fireplaces, welcome mats - and a new wing, complete with an assembly hall...
...Asada rivalry isn't dramatic enough, the women's event also features one of the most courageous athletes of the Games: Canadian Joannie Rochette, who competed on Tuesday just two days after learning of her mother's unexpected death from a heart attack. Taking to the ice in front of an appreciative but apprehensive audience that seemed ready to mentally lift her through her program, Rochette put them at ease with a solid program that landed her in third place. It was only after she finished that she allowed herself to acknowledge the affection from the crowd, breaking down...
