3.	Cut each artichoke heart lengthwise into thin slices. Rub the slices with the cut side of the remaining lemon half.
4.	Slice the top and bottom off each orange. Slice away the peel and white pith, following the curve of the fruit. Cut the oranges crosswise into thin slices.
5.	Arrange the artichokes and oranges on a platter. Scatter the radishes and olives over the top. Sprinkle with olive oil, paprika, and salt.
