There is an unforeseen consequence to all this superficial self-congratulation that only surfaces when we are served a salad that is all tomatoes or all lettuce. We are confronted by our ignorance in a meal such as this; we don't even know where to start eating and so lay our fork down next to the bowl and stare uncomfortably as the vegetables talk among themselves. They speak of things, shared experiences and hidden flavors we never knew existed. In our insecurity, we detect an angry stare from the tomatoes toward our untomato-ness, and we shrink away from...
...School of Communication, Art of Film and Television in Jerusalem. What followed a brief introduction by festival director Sara Rubin and former Ma'ale School director Udi Lion was a revelation told in softly lilting Hebrew of aspects of Jewish culture rarely added to the American salad bowl...
...Crock of Boston Baked Beans ($4), Wild Mushroom Pot Pie ($6) even House (rather than home) Fries ($4). The punchiness of the flavors is the truest indicator of Harvest's theme, however.

The star of the spread was definitely the Beef...
...tired. But unfortunately, path-dependency's effects are not limited to our careers. It touches almost everything we do. Imagine that you go into the dining hall for dinner and find that nothing served that evening suits your tastes. You could make yourself some sort of extensive salad-bar concoction, or bake yourself a tuna melt in the microwave or go out for dinner instead. But those options require more time, more money, more ingenuity--and the dining hall's shake'n'bake chicken is sitting right there waiting for you. It's as initially inefficient to make your...
