...tiered translucent picnic box that includes 20 g of caviar, "Maviar" tarama (a creamy spread made with the eggs of smoked cod), smoked salmon with artichokes and a fruit dessert. That will set you back €80 per person, but it comes with a tiny mother-of-pearl caviar spoon. The only disadvantage to al fresco eating - other than possible bad weather in autumn - is uninvited guests. Near the Eiffel Tower with my daughter recently, a well-spoken but disheveled man approached our picnic and asked if we couldn't spare "a piece of bread, some salami and that piece...
...accomplished playwright, has a pitch-perfect ear for dialogue and a gift for dramatic scene setting. Some of his satirical barbs carry unforgettable sting, such as an episode in which Caracera tries to wrest Blueboy, the child whore, from the clutches of an American pederast who is spoon-feeding him ice cream at a sidewalk restaurant.

His leftism comes from, and on behalf of, working class middle America, an America he clearly loves. His dissent is an act of patriotism, and its fierceness takes one’s breath away...
Many hobbies, when considered closely, make no sense (spoon collecting, anyone?). But then there is railfanning, which even its disciples are hard put to explain. There are about 175,000 U.S. railfans, almost all men, estimates Kevin Keefe of Trains magazine. They have clubs, websites and vacation excursions. They are, like all hobbyists, consumed by the cataloging of minutiae. "They're just attracted to trains," says John Bromley, spokesman for Union Pacific Railroad, who admits halfway through our conversation that he too is a railfan...
