...He’s the best I’ve seen him in two years right now,” Boston manger Grady Little said on Tuesday. “There’s no one else we would rather have on the mound.… He’s better than he was the last time because of his knowledge. His preparation for our particular game is second to none, and right now physically he’s as good as I’ve seen...
Oleana’s menu offers a pre-appetizer course comprised of prêt à manger items, described aptly by the server as “tasty little things to eat with bread.” The warm olives ($4) are a rather safe choice, though not a particularly rewarding one.

...sounds laughably upper crust, but once you unwrap a Coronation Chicken sandwich, the name seems almost appropriate. It's made with white meat, mango chutney, fresh-roasted almonds and a curry dressing. And it's the signature product of Pret A Manger (that's French for "ready to eat"), a chain of spacious, well-lighted restaurants decorated with more chrome than a Ferrari showroom.

U.S. embassy officials later found more than 90 rifles and other guns left behind, and Israeli troops said they found 40 explosive devices. From the rooftops around the adjoining Manger Square, relatives called out "God is most great!" and shouted to sons and brothers they had not seen in weeks and might not see again. The 13 gunmen most wanted by Israel were flown to Cyprus, on their way into exile in Europe and possibly Canada. Twenty-six others, considered...
