The same day, Britain's Foreign Secretary David Miliband spoke of how "brilliant" it was to see monks march on Saturday to the home of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, the daughter of the independence hero who led Burma's struggle against the British. Suu Kyi has spent much of the past 18 years under house arrest. Her National League for Democracy (NLD) won elections back in 1990, but the generals refused to honor the results.

...made “fresh to order”? But here’s the hitch: Wagamama is a fast food joint. Was the last Big Mac you ate “made fresh to order”? Modeled after the noodle bars that are ubiquitous in Japan, this British chain made its U.S. debut in Boston’s Faneuil Hall, with its second branch opening up this summer in Harvard Square. Wagamama has all the markings of the average fast food haven: a line out the door twenty diners deep, the decibel level of a subway station...
