...even in less food-obsessed American cities, various brick-oven restaurants compete for the approval of a fickle, pizza-geek public that looks closely at everything from the sourcing of the fior de latte to the presence of "tip sag" issues with the crust. A recent post at Slice, the king of pizza blogs, states, "The crust at Patsy's is so thin that light passes through it. It is soft, the cornicione has an airy inner core. But it was not blistered in the least on my most recent visit.") Even frozen pizza is trying to be better. Pizzeria...
...mean, seriously. The other day I was sitting on an airplane, watching the usual slice of America attempt to squeeze derrières far too large into seats far too small. In the age of the seat belt extender, this is hardly an unusual sight. But just before takeoff, there was a rotund man rolling a wheelie suitcase down the aisle in way-too-tight pants.

The Nice Russian Orthodox Cultural Association (ACOR), which managed the church under a 99-year lease it signed with the czarist regime in 1909, had maintained that it effectively inherited the cathedral when Russia's royal family...

According to Michael Emerson, a specialist on race and faith at Rice University, the proportion of American churches with 20% or more minority participation has languished at about 7.5% for the past nine years. But among Evangelical churches with attendance of 1,000 people or more, the slice has more than quadrupled, from...
Such a targeted type of program has a good shot at doing what it sets out to do. The downside: intervening in the economy in such a precise way is almost by definition not expandable. Cash for Caulkers would give building contractors a boost, but they represent a small slice of the economy. To next help out, say, bakers, policymakers would have to design a brand-new program. Plus, if such a program had an expiration date, we'd feel not just a rise in demand, but a fall later on as well. Car manufacturers and the people who work...
