...dish at Punjabi is complete without a fresh piece of nan ($1.50) and a cool mango lassi ($1.95). Nan, soft and fluffy pita-like bread, is the perfect accompaniment to any sauce dish or great as an appetizer in itself (try the garlic option for only 45 cents more). Then wash down your meal with a mango lassi, a smooth mango yoghurt smoothie, which will provide your startled taste buds with much needed relief...
...likely to push for some very mild sanctions, now, although Russia may oppose even that option. Meanwhile, the talks between Solana and Larijani will likely continue.

...been severely limited in recent years. Regulations enacted in 2004 require students who wish to study abroad in Cuba to participate in a program directly administered by their home university. These new rules prevented Harvard undergraduates from enrolling in a program run by Butler University—a popular option for those interested in Cuba. Because study abroad programs often rely on students enrolling from multiple universities, most programs in Cuba (including Bulter’s) have been discontinued. As part of an economic embargo with the ostensible aim of encouraging democratization, the new regulations are nonsensical: They have...
