...Capricho's private underground dining room, the meat came practically raw and boneless to the table, where we cooked piece after piece on earthenware platters sprinkled with salt. We gorged ourselves on the deep, primordial flavor of beef as it was meant to be, full of days spent in the goodness of open fields. Somehow in the cholesterol-induced euphoria, my brain noted that the perfect steak seemed to be in the center rib section, aged for 90 days, of a 16-year-old Rubia Gallega...

It will help, too, if the Bangladeshi government speeds up its implementation of plans created after earlier ruinous floods, including improving drainage in cities, better sanitation management and fixing up the worst slums...
...importance of the United States’ position as a global leader. While Tutu counted the U.S. as a strong ally in the fight against apartheid, he has been critical of American foreign policy during the Bush administration. “You taught us no government worth its salt can subvert the rule of law. We believed you,” Tutu said at a gathering of Nobel laureates last year, according to The Washington Post. “That’s part of what you have as a gift for the world. Then how can you commit Guantanamo...
