...served on a block of translucent glass that looks like ice. One is tuna accompanied by horseradish sorbet, colder and more crystalline than the traditional horseradish in cream. Among our other favorites were a soup of sea urchin, seared foie gras and watermelon; and hot smoked arctic char with octopus, mushroom, buckwheat ragout and duck consomme...
...insider knowledge of Lucent and Cheng's salesmanship led to the development of a business plan: take the source code for the PathStar Server, build a company around it and market it in China. In July 2000, Cheng traveled to Beijing to meet with the Datang company, an octopus of a communications conglomerate officially owned by the government but, like most such firms, charting its own chaotic routes to riches. Cheng secured at least $1.2 million from Datang for a joint venture dubbed DTNET. Not bad for a little company launched in his New Jersey home and now impressively called...
...Fathoms," probably in the early '60s and definitely on television, my brother and I began to check out the other items in the Harryhausen oeuvre. The next great one we saw was "It Came from Beneath the Sea"; it's still one of my favorites. The giant octopus wrapped around the Golden Gate Bridge has become an iconic image in American pop.

"It was a great moment, the kind of moment I will cherish for a long time," said Lemieux, who speaks sports...
...Cyclades. Kremezi spent eight years collecting recipes from fishermen, bakers and homemakers on the Greek islands. The result reads like a love letter to her native land. Forget about your basic Greek salad; we're talking To Chaviari Tou Ftochou ("Poor Man's Caviar"), Ktapodi Me Skordalia (Octopus with Garlic Sauce) and Nistisimes Hortopites (Fried Greens Pies). Sprinkled throughout are Kremezi's homey observations: "My version is loosely based on a recipe I got from Gerasimos Konstantatos, a friend from Cephalonia. It was passed down from his mother, and he assures me it is the best he has ever tasted...
