...book purports to instruct readers on effective business-dining strategy. In the spirit of "you are what you order," the authors divide food into two categories: power and wimp. The executive who wants to seal the deal should stick to power foods. These include London broil, bourbon and Brie cheese. Such foods are easy to eat and macho (the book applies the term to both men and women). Above all, the person who wishes to dine for success should avoid dishes that the authors label as wimpy: chicken, quiche and casseroles. They can guarantee a mailroom job and brown bags...

...movie simply isn't funny. This is the same old pretentious, anti-anti-intellectual garbage that a small coterie of snooty brie-toting critics have been shovelling out ever since the initial Pink Panther, and it's as stupid now as it ever was. Just because a movie is all slapstick and zero social commentary doesn't mean it can't be uproariously funny. So you want relevance? Trail of the Pink Panther is actually a symbolic indictment of supply-side economics during a recession-plagued post-industrial era. Satisfied...
