...dining room, 49 km west of London in the village of Bray. It's just next door to Blumenthal's flagship, the Fat Duck, where he uses his knowledge of space-age science to concoct ethereal feasts. He's peppering the Hind's Head's menu with dishes that reach back to the roots of British cuisine. It can be a challenge: May's measurements include "a small bigness" and "as much flour as will lie on a shilling." But when the finished product hits the table, the taste seems worth the centuries-long wait. The quaking pudding, a light...
...willfully oblivious to the revival of the Japanese economy, and to the palpably renewed self-confidence among the Japanese political élite that their lost decade is over. Japan, remember, is the world's second largest economy, with an income per head at a level that China will not reach for generations.

...only the over-stretched U.S., but also Israel, the only nuclear power of the region, and a indefatigable antagonist of Teheran. Yet, such a move would assure full-fledged war with the theocracy, and the latter’s main power lies not in Shehab-3 missiles that can reach Jerusalem, but in the power it has over oil prices, everyone’s Achilles’ heel. Furthermore, leaders like Ayatollah Khamenei thoroughly enjoy dramatic victim roles on the international stage to further domestic support for their despotic dominance...
