Darwin is alive and well in Nish's recipes. On a Thursday evening in the gleaming basement kitchen, a worker dots a carpaccio of lobster that rests on a shiso leaf with dollops of mentaiko, or spicy cod roe, and uni, or sea urchin. "The first time I made that, I thought I'd sell a couple to Japanese customers," Nish says. "Instead, it's become one of my most popular dishes." Another worker shaves thin circles of black truffle to decorate a wedge of hamachi, or yellowtail, sizzling in a pan of duck fat and bacon morsels...
...York chefs are happy to comply. Ruby Foo's serves up unabashedly inauthentic creations, like a grilled pineapple, kiwi and mango maki with a neon-green cilantro sauce. Monster Sushi features the fist-sized Monster Roll: eel, shrimp, avocado, asparagus, mushroom, flying-fish roe and spinach.

Valeo, upheld limits on contributions, because of the "actuality and appearance of corruption resulting from large individual financial contributions." (The court found campaign spending limits, meanwhile, unconstitutional on free-speech grounds.) But while the fattest target would be Paul Wellstone's limits on issue-advocacy groups, the McConnells of the world - who still say the problem isn't too much money in politics, it's too little - will still be gunning for the whole shebang...
