With Noah still in diapers, Andrea was pregnant again in 1995. She gave up swimming and jogging. She saw less of her friends. "That was her choice," says her friend Marlene Wark, who lost touch with her old chum after Noah's birth. "Andrea is not a cream puff. She never struck me as the type who rolled over." Wark had seen her friendship lapse with Andrea before. In college they stopped talking for a year until Andrea warmed up again, without ever explaining what had miffed her. Andrea later told another friend that, at the time, she might have...
...soon after the sun rises, Wehbe's unlikely presence is only one of the things that are out of the ordinary. Usually, the only background noise at the coffee house is a low murmur of conversation, and the click of marble pieces on a hundred game boards as men puff on their houkas, finger wooden worry beads and play hours-long backgammon marathons. Now, there's a new addition to that symphony: half a dozen TV monitors tuned to al-Jazeera's coverage of the mayhem in Lebanon...
...uses elements of food like elements of color, making them work together." The flavors change seasonally, but the virtuosity of his combinations don't; recently, his airy gnocchi came with spinach, goat's cheese and pomegranate.

A signature De Laurentiis dish is a homey chicken Tetrazzini made with heavy cream and whole milk; Goin's book offers a tarte au fromage that contains a pound of ricotta inside an all-butter puff pastry, topped with not only lemon cream but also blueberry compote. There's something nearly carnal about all this full-fat food issuing from the kitchens of these gorgeous, tiny women. On a 2004 episode of Everyday Italian, De Laurentiis made two rich stuffed pastas as well as cheese sticks...
...film was, in its way, clever publicity. Newspapers ran stories about what might be in the film. The Louvre Museum, where the action of the book-film begins, has announced it will be giving tours explaining works of art mentioned therein. 60 Minutes got Ed Bradley to huff and puff about ripping the lid off the Priory of Sion fraud, which was very old news indeed. (I'd read about a month earlier in that hard-hitting compendium of investigative reporting, Fodor's Guide to the Da Vinci Code.) The TV news networks have lavished Scott Peterson-type coverage...
