Overheard recently from a tourist in one of Vienna's grand cafes: "Waiter, I'll try a slice of your soccer tort." OK, so it's actually Sacher (SAH'kerr) Torte, the famed Viennese chocolate cake filled with apricot jam. But no one's going to quarrel with a slight mispronunciation -- not with the European Championships in soccer about to unfold in Austria and Switzerland.
