...salmon and the elegant terrine of truffled duck liver. Other fine dinner appetizers were the silken lobster-filled ravioli with chanterelles and hazelnuts and a ragout of wild mushrooms. Among main courses, moist, roasted pheasant with a subtle gamy flavor was well set off with pungent cranberries, and a mustard glaze added zest to sliced, rare roast filet of beef. Near misses were a too soupy stew of wild duck, the sweetbreads that tasted of overheated oil and both the gratin of salt codfish with a Parmesan cheese and soft-shell crabs that were impeccably prepared but stingingly salty...
...Dutch winner that has been going strong for 45 years and that proved best among the 65 varieties tasted for this report. The jalapeno Charles Chips led all other seasoned types. For decades Charles Chips were delivered to homes in 40 states, always packed in the company's trademark mustard-colored cans; now they are sold in supermarkets in typical air-cushioned bags.

Thus the deterioration of basic, personal service is taking the fun out of the new offerings. Shoppers can now find ten kinds of mustard and a dozen varieties of vinegar in a supermarket, but where is a clerk who can give a guiding word about these products? Airlines offer a bonanza of cheap fares, but many travel agents no longer want to be bothered handling such unprofitable business. That leaves consumers on their...
...Iraq, whose population is only 15 million, vs. Iran's 48 million. After a long stalemate, the military balance shifted somewhat last February, when the Iranians captured the Fao peninsula in southern Iraq and Iraqi forces failed to retake it despite massive bombardment and the alleged use of mustard gas. The Iraqis hit back by seizing the Iranian border town of Mehran in May, but were later forced to give...
