Vodka is usually thought of as a neutral drink, odorless and tasteless. But with premium vodkas being the fastest-growing category in liquor sales, these high-priced spirits are offering a whole new range of aroma and taste. Vodka is most often produced by fermenting and distilling grains or potatoes, but it can also be made from fruits, vegetables or anything else that grows. We tasted some new blends, and here are our favorites...
...chalk-wielding vandals’ commitment to free speech is even more suspect. As Los Angeles Times columnist Norah Vincent notes, the same students chalking their campuses with tasteless drawings and slogans also push for speech codes and steal conservative campus publications from the newsstands. Vincent aptly describes students who defend smut like the snow penis and then shift the debate from decency to free speech rights: “self-entitled, sophomoric pranksters falling back on high principles when it suits them.” Student “artists” of the snow-phallus variety have hijacked...

Eminem represents corrupt and demented form of “art.” His success is the by-product of a troubled generation’s lack of taste...
...American tastes accustomed to overcooked pasta. The Crispy Sweetbreads ($15) were the only misstep from a kitchen that is usually strong with offal. The accompanying lentils were toothsome, the mustard greens offering a bitter counterpoint to the dish. The sweetbreads had the proper creamy texture but were surprisingly tasteless; I wonder if this lack of flavor stems not from the cooking, but from poor ingredients, as they appear to have been properly handled...
