...Holy Priesthood" sewn in, donned with reverence by the most faithful Mormons. "I'll just say those sorts of things I'll keep private," he sensibly replied. Will that dodge work for other theological questions? Calling himself "a religious person," Romney in June used the Charlie Rose Show on PBS to test-drive an answer that keeps him from getting into the nitty-gritty of his religious heritage. "I believe that Jesus Christ is my savior," he said. "But then as you get into the details of doctrines, I'd probably say, 'Look, time out. Let's focus...

Ming Tsai gives all world foods equal footing and pairs them unexpectedly. In the first show of the new season, Asia meets Mexico with a soy- and sesame-laced mole sauce; later he creates a Mediterranean-Chinese tapenade. Each episode uses one recipe--for a rub, sauce, paste and so forth--as the base of several dishes, a starting point from which the home cook can improvise.
