The fine art of drinking coffee
Article Abstract:
There is a long tradition of coffee being associated with culture in many different parts of the world. Coffee houses have for many years been fashionable places to visit, and fresh ground coffee has long been regarded as the drink of the cultured and cosmopolitan. Coffee tasting has come to be regarded as an art in itself, and a large vocabulary has grown up around the art of roasting and brewing coffee. A direct link between coffee and art is seen in the porcelain coffee cups which are being decorated by highly respected modern artists and sold for very high prices to collectors.

The KAL Tragedy
Article Abstract:
There are still questions about how much the Soviet and United States military forces knew about the situation when a Korean Air Lines Boeing 747 was shot down by a Soviet SU-15 Flagon jet. Some United States experts feel that the Soviets might have believed that the plane was a reconnaissance plane. The United States may have monitored the situation with satellites and radar without intervening.
