...London No. 2. I demand a recount. I may not have sophisticated economic data to back me up, but I do have anecdotes. My friend Julian, a lawyer, just moved from London to Tokyo. "Tokyo can be pricey," he says. "You go into a supermarket, put a nice honeydew melon in your trolley and pay ¥15,000, which is $150.

On the wall behind Saddam were maps of Iraq, marked in heavy felt pen, that appeared to indicate troop deployments. Yunis recognized the melon-colored curtains and ruffled white drapes, the design of the stone floor, the geometric pattern on the empty chair next to Qusay, even some water damage on one of the walls. Saddam, she realized, was sitting in her living room. The next afternoon, acting on intelligence that Saddam had been...
Creating a private scene at a Tommy’s Convenience or 7-11 post-2 a.m. is an undervalued method of sneaking up on “crab-cakes,” and by “crab-cakes” I mean the “melon center.” All the most intriguing honeys respect independence, and nothing says independence like roasting a Go-Go Beef Taquito by your lonesome on a Wednesday night.
