...cavalcade of flavors so perfectly balanced that it hasn't changed in 30 years. First is chorba, a spicy tomato soup rich enough to restore life even after a day fighting the hordes at Versailles. A refined pastilla, a sweet-savory pigeon pastry dusted with cinnamon and sugar, floods the senses with visions of The Thousand and One Nights. After a pair of grilled fresh sardines comes the masterpiece: a plain dry couscous of ethereal lightness, as hot and fine and white as the sands of the Sahara. It takes two days and much hand-fluffing to achieve this miraculous...

In their brochure this year, coffee roasters Green Mountain described Rwanda as "the hottest emerging origin in speciality coffee." Its coffee had "floral top notes of lemon ... sweet, caramelized sugar and wild honey evolving into the heady, well-toned presence of chocolate, dried fruit and dark cherry notes." Who knew?

But he will probably not talk about bateyes, mass deportations, or the indentured servitude that chains thousands of Haitians to squalid conditions within the burgeoning sugar, banana, and coffee plantations of the emergent Dominican Republic...
More than 20 million Britons, 1 in every 3 alive (among them King George VI), tuned in to their radios in 1951 when Randolph Turpin took on Sugar Ray Robinson for the middleweight crown of the world. This was doubly surprising, insofar as the mixed-race Englishman was boxing for a country where, just four years earlier, blacks - even if British-born - were not allowed to compete for the national championship. When Turpin pulled off a remarkable upset against the highly favored American - only Robinson's second loss in 135 fights - he seemed more than ever an emblem...
