...term health-code violation typically conjures images of germ-sodden hands wrangling the steak tartare or gangs of mice and roaches commandeering the pantry. These are indeed serious problems, but according to the CSPI report, consumers should be more concerned with the risk of unclean food contact or prep surfaces (26% of restaurants committed this violation), which can allow for dangerous cross-contamination between, say, raw meat and fruit. Another big problem: improper holding temperatures (22% of restaurants kept food either not hot enough or not cold enough), which can potentially lead to bacteria festering in poorly cooked food.

They've spent years smartly saluting and being saluted, issuing and carrying out orders. That's probably not the best prep for a role in which persuasion and cajolery are vital. But none of that dims the luster a former general or admiral can bring to a ticket. Officers tend to be mediagenic: slender, ramrod straight and well spoken, especially on foreign policy matters.
