Katharine Armstrong initially told a Texas reporter that there had been "zero, zippo" drinking that Saturday. But Cheney later said on Fox News that he had had "a beer" at lunch. The meal had been served under an old oak, and the hunt--which had begun that morning--didn't resume until midafternoon. In addition to the grandees with their guns--Cheney's an elegant, Italian-made 28-gauge shotgun, Whittington's a 20-gauge--the party included several guides and dogs.

...multi-Michelin-starred Heston Blumenthal. May's The Accomplisht Cook, published in 1660, is one of the sources that Blumenthal draws upon to re-create historic dishes. These will be featured at his latest venture, the Hind's Head Hotel, a 17th century public house with an oak-paneled dining room, 49 km west of London in the village of Bray. It's just next door to Blumenthal's flagship, the Fat Duck, where he uses his knowledge of space-age science to concoct ethereal feasts.
