...quality of their verbosity," says Aird. That could easily be Andrew Pern's mantra. The owner and head chef of The Star in the village of Harome, Yorkshire, runs one of the few pubs to have won a coveted Michelin star. Yet his menus are as blunt as the plain-spoken Yorkshireman himself. He serves dishes such as braised oxtail with horseradish sauce and "no pools of this and no puddles of that," Pern says.

Grubman, the only son of a Philadelphia boxer turned city worker, wanted his kids to have the best, and made that plain in a Nov. 5, 1999, memo to Weill.

The Melkha ($12.95), an eggplant stuffed with olives, spinach, and feta cheese, is aggressively salty. No one at our table would take more than a bite. Grilled meat is just that—grilled, plain, boring. The couscous ($8.95) is just acceptable, surprising since this is the staple of the Maghreb.

Reputable e-tailers will use a secure server to process transactions, and will make it plain they're doing so. Of course, even secure servers can be hacked; if you think a thief is using your card, run a quick check at CARDCOPS.COM, a database of suspected stolen numbers, compiled in part from merchant reports...
