...HOTEL SACHER The Sacher torte, first served in 1832, is a dense chocolate sponge creation with an apricot jam filling, dark chocolate glaze and the only Viennese cake traditionally served with cream (mit Schlag). A chocolate medallion pressed into the glaze is the official sign of authenticity.

U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and Attorney General John Ashcroft arrived in Davos weighed down with olive branches, while European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet praised American optimism, and Iranian academic Mahmood Sariolghalam said that Iraq was poised to become a symbol of success in the Middle East...
...Vienna, and the fog is nearly as thick as Schlag on the strudels. Friedrich Nietzsche and Dr. Joseph Breuer, an early associate of Freud's, are striking an odd bargain. The physician will try to cure his patient's migraine attacks; the philosopher will treat the doctor's deep- rooted angst. Soon their roles reverse: healer becomes sufferer and, voila!, the psychoanalytic revolution begins. In WHEN NIETZSCHE WEPT (Basic Books; $20), psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom imagines an encounter between two < real people who never met. The novel is strewn with italic sentences to highlight his characters' head-smacking insights. Still...
