Australian chef david thompson has a dry sense of humor, so when he describes his 370-page whopper of a cookbook as "by no means exhaustive," you take it with a pinch of salt. Actually, make that a splash of fish sauce. For this is Thai Street Food, Thompson's passionate and meticulous tribute to one of the world's great curbside cuisines. Thais not only snack between mealtimes, they snack between snacks. And who wouldn't, when almost every street is what Thompson calls a "delicious obstacle course...
...response, Canada shrugs. "It's a zero story," Jackson says. "The reality is that foreigners have used the facilities way beyond what was available in Salt Lake City [in 2002]. We have worked with every international federation, they have outlined all the expectations for access, they have all been met and exceeded." Wait a minute, did he just call the Americans "foreigners"? Very neighborly. But Jackson has a message for those scorned Olympians who want to stuff a maple leaf in Canada's face. "Relax," he says.

...truth is that it's just too easy to make good pizza to not even try. You don't need a special wood or coal oven; you don't need buffalo mozzarella; you don't even need fresh produce.

"When I did cry, as I couldn't help it, he grabbed me on my neck, choked me and he pushed my head under the tap in a basin." Eventually, Kampusch says, Priklopil allowed her into the main part of the house...
These roots are sunk deep in two soils: a love for independent film and a lack of money. The festival, then called the U.S. Film Festival, began in Salt Lake City in 1978 as a way for founders Sterling Van Wagenen, John Earle and Cirina Hampton Catania to attract more filmmakers to Utah. Redford was its first board chairman. The inaugural event focused on retrospectives of classic American films, with a few awards given to new works. It was moderately successful, with long lines for screenings and a few high-profile panelists like actress Cicely Tyson, but the organizers were...
