...Italian restaurants in the 1960s. However, after diplomatically describing a pommery crusted salmon served over crème fraiche and cucumbers, our server said that the scaloppini ($22) was “to die for.” She was right. The first bite of veal made my eyes widen and eyelashes flutter. The salty tang of capers and lemon in a peppery beurre noisette was balanced by a creamy potato, leek and asiago gratin, served in a little inverted casserole with a crispy crust and highlighted with a roasted red pepper relish...

She and her team began working late into the night, keeping their project secret. And they had no allies. At one point, one of Cooper's employees bought a CD burner and started copying data, concerned that the information might be destroyed before they could finish...
...North. Roh has taken just such a position in the past. But Lee?instead of scoring political points by emphasizing just how dangerous Kim Jong Il remains?is forced to play the moderate. The cold warriors in his party can only hope that toning down the rhetoric will widen Lee's appeal and win him the election. Only then will they be able to test the theory that the North Korean question can be answered by a little less sunshine and a lot more stick...
