...what about the international spat over the presence of Cry9C, a protein produced in genetically modified StarLink corn to kill the European corn borer, a common pest? U.S. exports to Asia have suffered because of fear that Cry9C could cause food allergies.

Every one of the victimized cardholders had recently dined at one of two New York City restaurants. Raymond and his partners visited one of them, a Brazilian steak house on Central Park South called Plantation, and with the cooperation of the restaurant's mortified owner, they looked around the employee dressing room. There, in an open locker, they spotted the likely culprit: a black box the size of a Palm Pilot, with a slit down the front and bits of Velcro tape...
