When the long shot Volponi took the Breeders' final race, the winner's payout from the $3.4 million pari-mutuel pool was enormous and immediately suspect. "If the payoff had been $70,000 [per ticket] instead of $400,000, we might not have known," says Bill Nader, senior vice president of the New York Racing Association.

...French classics with a tropical twist. For his seared tuna, Salans eschews the obvious sweet-savory pairing, opting instead for a citrusy relish of young starfruit, cherry tomatoes and chive coulis. The foie gras, chopped with almonds, caraway seeds and quail, is wrapped in pastry and served in a pool of buttery-rich demi-glace infused with the Balinese staples of clove, cinnamon and vanilla.

Last year, TFA saw its applicant pool triple from the usual 5,000 to a whopping 14,000, all vying for only 2,000 positions. The sudden increase is in part attributable to the bad economy and rough job market. But TFA teacher Ajarae D. Johnson ’02 believes that the boom relates...
