The steamed dumplings, a part of the dim sum menu, were unlike any others that I had eaten before. Inside the sticky wrapper sat ground tofu, finely minced bok choy and tiny pieces of vermicelli. Served with soy sauce, the dumplings were a light and refreshing addition to the meal. Our other dim sum order of turnip cakes was also equally delectable.

Bottom line: pick the right bar for your needs, but remember that you may do just as well with low-fat yogurt or a few turkey slices on whole wheat--and for less than the nearly...
...their chests at Boston's Logan airport, or to hear that there are generals authorized to shoot a passenger jet out of the sky should they conclude that it poses a threat. The metal detectors are so sensitive that an underwire bra will trip them. So will a candy wrapper. Yet a federal marshal was able to slip through with a buck knife in his pocket. Thus many passengers, returning to the skies last week, resorted to their own incantations: It's never been safer to fly. Lightning doesn't strike twice. If I stay home, they...
