...SoHo soba house Honmura An, raw shrimp “melted beneath the teeth with the lush generosity of milk chocolate.” She describes eating Sayori, an extremely rare sashimi, at Kurumazushi: “It was smooth and slick against my tongue, with a clear, transparent flavor and the taut crispness of a tart green apple.” Unfortunately, it wasn’t all soba and sushi during Reichl’s tenure at The Times...
...thumb-and-pinkie hook-'em-horns waggle. Indeed, Tester's physical presence-he's a big old farm boy with a flattop crew cut-is a political statement that stands close to the heart of the national Democratic congressional campaign of 2006. It says, I'm not a slick Washington guy. I'm a Montana farmer. After six years of a Bush Administration cozy with business, many Democrats are taking a flyer this year on full-throated populism...
...fresh teams, each making their first trip to the championship round. Nowitzki's Mavericks won 60 regular season games, and the Heat has O'Neal, vying for one more title, armed with the anti-Kobe, nice-guy superstar Dwyane Wade at his side. And coach Pat Riley, the slick-haired Machiavelli who earlier this season pushed aside the widely respected Stan Van Gundy to chase one more coaching title, on the sideline.

...matter how slick and ordinary Silk might have been, I was in a party mood because of the film I'd seen just before it: Paolo Sorrentino's A Friend of the Family. Sorrentino's The Consequences of Love, a gorgeous-looking dark comedy about a fastidious hit man, was one of the lovely surprises of Cannes 2004 and a winner of the Best Film, Screenplay and Director prizes at the Donatello Awards, Italy's equivalent to the Oscars. The new movie trumps the earlier one, creating a small-town Italian cosmos where love and greed, Venus and venality...
