...squares of canvas together. The spicy aroma of cooking fires drifts lazily in the twilight haze on the Musi River in Palembang, and the evening sun casts a warm orange glow on the great white mosque of Banda Atjeh. In Padang, the bustling bazaars are piled high with a rainbow of fruits and silks...
...country today has his favorite Delikatessen, whose virtues he will describe in endless, lip-smacking detail. Dallmayr's, a dim, medieval-style emporium with vaulted arches, displays its caviar and Japanese shrimp on cracked ice (artfully hiding its modern refrigeration equipment), while live carp, perch, pike and rainbow trout swim in ornate marble fountains.

By rotating the grating to a carefully calculated angle, the scientists were able to reflect light of a single, specific wave length at a target. Knowing the wave length, they were able to determine precisely the energy...
