"Food is just part of the regional culture that's getting neutralized," says Kurlansky. "When I was growing up, I could tell what part of Connecticut someone was from just from his accent...
...Fortunately for Kurlansky, there's a new guide to help people venture off the culinary highway. Written by foodie progressives who savor Chicago's pizza as well as its beef sandwiches and chicken Vesuvio and scads of old-school offerings across the country, Jane and Michael Stern's 500 Things to Eat Before It's Too Late refers not to a diminishing American landscape but to the limited number of eating opportunities in our life spans.

Anyone who doubts the projections will say that they are the work of actuaries who practice an art as dark as voodoo...
...largely successful decade as finance minister - has slid into reverse. Success confronting problems on the global stage, most recently at April's productive G-20 summit in London, has sharpened criticism that he's lacking an agenda at home. (When an e-mail discussing smears against senior Conservatives, written by one of Brown's close aides, surfaced days after the summit, even that goodwill evaporated.)
