Caviar
Hossein Aimani demonstrates how he repacks golden ossetra caviar from Iran, at his company's headquarters in the Queens borough of New York, Thursday Dec. 7, 2000. In a cold, gray building, lost among dozens of warehouses and auto-parts dealers, Aimani possesses an immense treasure - billions of tiny, glistening eggs smelling of sea and salt in blue-and-gold tins bearing the name "Paramount Caviar."
