...Billing the restaurant as a modern chophouse, chef Fumio Yonezawa has produced a chic take on hearty fare - the root beer-braised short ribs are a must, as is the grilled chicken with kabocha puree and jalapeño. Cocktails run the range from classic to creative. Rose and plum liquors are used liberally in drinks like Broadway Rose (rose liqueur and sparkling wine) and Central Park (plum liqueur, vodka, mango juice and chili). But the most popular cocktails are the 57 martini, flavored with Grand Marnier, and the Big Apple martini, made with apple schnapps. Rarely have apples...

Among the most e-mailed stories in the New York Times a couple of weeks back was one about the perfect vigilante weapon for the modern age: the cell-phone jammer, which silences signals within 30 feet.

Instead of pick-pocketing, Wizard supervises a raggedy bunch of street musicians. While Williams would have excelled at the role of a freelance artiste who teaches Rush how to play the guitar, the direction turns him into a psychotic, exploitive, and morally ambiguous child...

This statement is indeed slightly extreme, and may put off some readers initially, but Solove backs his point by highlighting several case studies, including the Star Wars Kid, that illustrate the dangers of one of the modern age’s greatest tools. That focus on specific cases is far and away the book’s greatest strength. Rather than simply warning readers about possible scenarios, Solove shows first-hand the lives that have been ruined, combining descriptions of the original events with verbatim reproductions of comments...
