...Thompson, 49, first went to Thailand from his hometown of Sydney in 1986 and "fell in love with the place." But he didn't care much for the food until undergoing a six-month apprenticeship with a "gruff old guide" called Sombat Janpetchara, the daughter of a palace chef. "She cooked with poise and elegance and a definition of taste that made other foods seem ordinary," Thompson recalls. He returned to Sydney to start his first restaurant, Darley Street Thai, to rave reviews. A decade later he opened Nahm in London, the first Thai restaurant with a Michelin star...
...education in provocation. His infamous 1969 duet with Birkin, "Je T'Aime ... Moi Non Plus," was banned by the Vatican because of its salacious lyrics and feigned orgasms. And in 1984, he recorded "Lemon Incest," a duet in which he and a 13-year-old Charlotte sing that "the love that we will never make together is the most beautiful." In the video, they lie together in bed, Serge shirtless and Charlotte wearing nothing but panties and a shirt.

When in Rome invents a corollary legend: that if you remove a coin from the fountain, the person who put it there will instantly...
...make a different case, namely that the government's interest in preserving marriage as it has traditionally been understood is not just legitimate, but vital. "The question is, Is this institution designed for these pro-child reasons or is it to produce companionship and personal fulfillment and expression of love?," he said in court. "Are those purposes themselves important enough to run risks to the accomplishment of the pro-child purposes...
...pliable, barely yielding quality of fresh pizza crust, especially with the telltale little scorch marks that come from passing through a real oven, and the Wonder-bread-like dough of its assembly-line rivals. As someone who grew up in Atlantic City, N.J., no pizza mecca, I still love the traditional "low-moisture" (i.e., greasy) mozzarella we all remember, the kind that forms an appetizingly orange compound as it merges with the sauce. I couldn't care less what toppings the city fathers of Naples think are canonical. But after eating good pizza - acidic sauce, unwaxy cheese, unwaffly dough...
