...earth-shaking or, for that matter, without controversy. Consider St. Antonio de Sant'Anna Galvao, whom Pope Benedict XVI canonized last December. Galvao, who died in 1822 (he was on the slow track) was a Franciscan monk in Sao Paolo who distributed "pills" that were actually folded bits of rice paper bearing the prayer: "After birth, the Virgin remained intact. Mother of God, intercede on our behalf." Believers swallowed them for various ailments. After Galvao's death, nuns in his monastery took up the pill production. According to England's Daily Telegraph, as his cause for sainthood began picking...
...staffed by his allies. Green detected a growing assurance in the times he met Hu. "In the beginning," he says, "Hu would conduct his meetings with a large number of officials in the same room and only reluctantly agree to one-on-one sessions with [Secretary of State Condoleezza] Rice or the President.

They were discovered en route at a Hutu militia roadblock, but the truck driver bought their freedom. Once in Butare, Jacqueline was reunited with her husband and the family hid for a further three years. Finally in 1998, with their home in Kigali destroyed, they...
...soups that make them wonderfully conducive to slurping. The kare noodles, which come in a coconut-based soup, are uneventful but satisfying. Your best bet is the moyashi soba (whole wheat), #27. It’s $10, vegetarian, and good for you, despite the blatant lack of seasoning. The rice dishes are dubious at best, and overall, the food looks better than it tastes. However, in the case of the yasai katsu curry (#72), there is nothing appetizing about the appearance of rice that looks like a plastic toy from the Fisher Price kitchen. The citrus lime mousse provides...
