Buford portrays Batali in other earthy moments--spitting on a cooktop at a Nashville, Tenn., benefit dinner (apparently to prove the cooktop was hot); asking Babbo's wine director for "two more bottles, along with your two best Mexican prostitutes"; snoring his way through a 5 a.m. taxi ride after a night out. But Heat is also a portrait of a talent who worked his way from a dishwasher in college to a small-time Greenwich Village cook to America's impresario of all foods Italian.

...poor, is the heavy favorite to win Mexico?s July 2 presidential election. L?pez has not been shy about suggesting that Mexico may need to renegotiate NAFTA, especially with regard to U.S. agriculture subsidies, a prospect that alarms the Bush Administration. In a recent stump speech, L?pez called unabated Mexican migration "proof of the Mexican economic failure" in the NAFTA era, and he called for a "new cooperation accord with the U.S." to address Mexico?s development...
