...Freudenberger is after more than the easy comedy of young Americans in old Asia. She seeks the unseen forces that bind together families?both biological and artificial?no matter how far apart their individual members roam. At the orphanage where Mandy works with AIDS-afflicted children, the suddenly tender daughter hands an infant to her squeamish, confused mother, Alice, who stares back at the grown child now drifting unfathomably far from her. Those are the sudden moments of near understanding that Freudenberger captures throughout this satisfying and promising exploration of what binds us when we're untied?and footloose...
Over two trips, I ordered so many entrees, all of which ranged from about $9 to $13: chura po tsel, beautifully sautéed spinach and tender golden tofu, tossed in a light ginger and garlic sauce, phing tsel, wonderfully hearty noodles made of beans and served with spinach and potatoes...
...back to the all-important subject of what I ordered: chhasha curry was an interesting test because Tibetan cuisine is as much Indian as it is Chinese—and Rangzen’s passed with flying colors.

Room on Fire reaches its peak with the tender midtempo ballad Under Control. It opens with Moretti's Zeppelin trick, takes off on Hammond's buoyant lead strumming and moves with the melodic sashay of a Bob Marley hit. Over the top of it all is Casablancas, going on about a relationship, of course. He sings, "I don't want to change your mind/I don't want to change the world/I just want to watch it go by." And if the Strokes want to look good doing it? I suppose that's excusable...
...Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr. form one of the most complementary guitar duos in rock. Best of all, no one hogs the spotlight. Each player has the skills to stand out, but mostly you come away remembering their seamlessness. Room on Fire reaches its peak with the tender mid-tempo ballad Under Control. It opens with Moretti's Zeppelin trick, takes off on Hammond's buoyant lead strumming and moves with the melodic sashay of a Bob Marley hit.
