...good indeed. Then again, at $50 a head, it should be. An amuse bouche of steak tartare atop crisply toasted crostini was brought immediately after ordering. It was the highlight of the evening. The meat was clearly of the highest quality, its richness offset by a piquant dribble of mustard and several capers. It should, perhaps, become a proper appetizer—two bites is simply not enough. Even my dining companion, an occasionally cautious eater, became an instant convert to the uncooked lifestyle...
...making snacks the French can be proud of. The shop's glass-fronted counter is stocked with 17 different types of sandwich, including sardines in olive bread with olive oil, basil and sun-dried tomatoes (€8) and the Be hotdog, with its chipolata sausages, truffles and whole-grain mustard (€8). A cold cabinet at the back of the store contains a range of ready-to-cook main dishes, vegetables and sauces. The whole approach is tailor-made for busy Parisians in search of a lunchtime snack and a little something to take home for supper. Visiting New Yorkers...
Last week, the U.S. government added steroidal estrogen--like the kind used in hormone-replacement therapy and birth control pills--to its list of "known human carcinogens," a catalog that also includes asbestos, tobacco and mustard gas.

In any case, the highly skeptical Bush Administration will make its own judgments, looking at what is on the list--such as what the Iraqis did with tons of mustard-gas materials that have not been accounted for--and, just as important, what is not on the list. It will measure Iraq's veracity by comparing its list with the one the CIA has in its pocket. Administration officials, from the President on down, continued to insist last week that they...
...nuclear devices. When the inspectors determined that a fermenter the U.N. had tagged as suspicious years ago was missing, Iraqi officials quickly led them to another veterinary complex, where it was located. At al-Muthanna, the chemical base, the U.N. team unearthed some dusty shells filled with mustard gas, but they had been previously tagged and sealed in past inspections. Only at the Karama missile-design plant in northern Baghdad did the inspectors discover a small violation: several pieces of suspect equipment were missing. Iraq made sure worldwide television crews recorded it all: how punctiliously the regime complied with...
