It's a good serving and a good dish, but the best of these use a simpler sauce, with more red pepper to open special nasal passages that are then messaged by the citrus aroma...

Since 1952 some 75% of the defense industry's low-level radioactive brew has been deposited in 120,000 drums and 11,000 boxes on a "temporary" basis at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, waiting for a new federal Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, N.Mex., to open.

While only a heart of stone could fail to be moved by the plight of the three whales, the vast resources consumed...

Some Bush strategists contend that only a serious illness or injury to the Vice President could give Dukakis the edge. But something a bit less spectacular could probably provide the opportunity: a serious Bush stumble, an international embarrassment or a sudden stock-market bust...
