We misidentified the Iraqi dignitary who was lunching today at Le-Bec Fin (1523 Walnut). It was not Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, at Le-Bec Fin as we had reported, but rather Iraq’s President Jalal Talabani, who lunched at the restaurant while an army of security waited outside.
Iraq Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki, was seen lunching at Le-Bec Fin (1523 Walnut) while passing through town on his way from Washington to New York. Outside Georges Perrier’s culinary landmark are state trooper cars, several black SUVs and more than a dozen security-types milling about with earpieces and more guards inside the restaurant.
Is Mozart really dead?
Researchers have uncovered a brand new piece of music handwritten by Mozart. It was uncovered in some little dark room where it had been forgotten about in a library in France.
The sheet of music is incomplete, though, as it is only a blueprint for the melody without any instrumentation or harmonies. But “it is absolutely new” said Ulrich Leisinger, head of research at the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, Austria, “We have new music here.”

Remembering.
Jury selection starts today in the trial of one Vincent J. Fumo, one should bring us months and months of free entertainment.
It turns out that Vince could end up spending the rest of his life in prison, because he is such a threat to go shoot up a school yard or something of sorts. Jury selection will take all this week, with a pool of 200 from places you only hear about when the local TV news wants to report some bad weather there, like Berks County.
But, then, there’s this:
And the consensus among experienced criminal defense lawyers is that Fumo is likely to testify in his defense.
Oh my god yes! It’s like an early Christmas present. This is going to be a good couple of months.
