...sexual tide had rushed in, and Ginzburg had gone to jail for the crime of having once stood on the beach with dry feet and dreams of an ocean spray. Like Lenny Bruce - whom we'll get to in a few weeks, on the 40th anniversary of his death - Ginzburg was a pioneer in, and a victim of, the art of the permissable. He was not a martyr,, exactly; he didn't die for our sins. But he did time so that we could legally enjoy those sins of the flesh. And he helped us realize that they weren...

The flavors change seasonally, but the virtuosity of his combinations don't; recently, his airy gnocchi came with spinach, goat's cheese and pomegranate. Save room for the lemon tartlet, a flaky nest of buttery semi...
...Yanks seemed to have a new lease on life - particularly with Italy leading the Czech Republic in the game being played at the same time. Italy had to win in order for a U.S. victory over Ghana to send Bruce Arena's men into the next round, and it did, beating the Czech Republic...
