...with shaved truffles, breaded tenderloin piccata--locating words that give a sense of a dish's flavors and textures. Next he looks to see whether prices are integrated into the text or standing alone by the right-hand margin.

But a pattern on the paper makes a couple of the entrées difficult to read and could visually discourage a customer from ordering these high-priced items. "Not bad," he concludes, "but it could always use some engineering." Naturally...

Speaking live for six minutes on the network morning shows, the President said coalition and Iraqi forces had "persevered through years of near misses and false leads, and they never gave up." The congratulations stopped there...

Our decisions about (and knowledge of) the world are largely based on constructed images, not personal experience. I believe that Hilary Clinton is frosty and that Osama bin Laden crashed planes into the World Trade Center not because I had any direct experience with the former first lady or September 11, but because it appears that way on TV.In other words, because the world is too complex and broad for personal experience, we make use of unstable and inaccurate...
