Darwin is alive and well in Nish's recipes. On a Thursday evening in the gleaming basement kitchen, a worker dots a carpaccio of lobster that rests on a shiso leaf with dollops of mentaiko, or spicy cod roe, and uni, or sea urchin. "The first time I made that, I thought I'd sell a couple to Japanese customers," Nish says. "Instead, it's become one of my most popular dishes." Another worker shaves thin circles of black truffle to decorate a wedge of hamachi, or yellowtail, sizzling in a pan of duck fat and bacon morsels...
...GRIESE HAS SAN DIEGO CHARGING TOWARD POSTSEASON Remember the great debate in 1998 over whether the Colts should take Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning or Washington State signal-caller Ryan Leaf with the top-overall selection? Looking back, it was like deciding whether to buy stock in Microsoft or Mister Softee. Like the Patriots in 1993, who confidently used their No.1 pick on Washington State QB Drew Bledsoe over Notre Dame counterpart Rick Mirer, the Colts got their franchise quarterback in Manning.

The Dow's all-time high of 11,723 came on Jan. 14, 2000, and it has since fallen 16%. That's nothing compared with the 25% decline since last March in the more tech-exposed S&P 500. The tech-laden NASDAQ has plunged 63% since its peak a year ago, the worst drubbing for a major stock index since the Depression...
...what did he paint during those final years? One last great painting, of a terminally bored barmaid surrounded by a maze of mirror reflections, A Bar at the Folies Bergere. And flowers: many of them exquisite little watercolors (a briar rose, a snail on a leaf) done with rapid, sketchy delicacy, with notes to their recipients, mainly his women friends, written on the same page. Nothing indicates how he was suffering. His love of life and of style was too strong. In their sweet, private brevity, these tiny notes combining script and image are among the most "Japanese" images...
