...opposition parties, who pondered boycotting the election but now seem committed to taking part, see it as mostly fair or renounce it and call protest rallies. With a compromised Supreme Court and restricted media, though, many Pakistanis already believe that the poll will be little more than another fig leaf to disguise a deeply unpopular dictatorship...
...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 peeking out from under the greenery. It was fun discovering each tidbit, ranging from...
...their shelves. Barnett had his San Francisco design firm's team discard two completed designs before deciding on a third, one he felt was the perfect science-meets-nature theme for every Shaklee line.

Slusarz’s set design looks like little more than heaps of painted styrofoam (painted to look like rocks) and lashed-together two-by-fours. More importantly, the design frequently strands the show’s cast in an expanse of empty stage. When characters are very far apart, it seems strange that they do not move closer. When they are close, they are swallowed up by all the space around...
