...advance, but visitors should go anyhow and sit in the Hors d'Oeuvrerie, where they can have sushi, steak tartare and other nibbles. Other restaurants combining fine food and wonderful decor: Café des Artistes (67th St. just off Central Park West) and Maxwell's Plum (64th St. and First Ave.), somewhat fantastically decorated with stained glass and Tiffany lamps, among other things...
...Your Oct. 15 account of what you call "Episcopalian Backlash" at the 64th General Convention of the Episcopal Church troubles me. Your reportage of the facts is not untrue, but your interpretation of those facts seems perverse. Because, as you saw it, "the Episcopalians abruptly applied the brakes to innovation" at Louisville, you assume that this is a lapse into conservatism.

Many of the 50,000 assembled Haitians, who were kept 70 yards from the palace, did not seem to realize that fact. As Jean-Claude saluted again and again...
...Signoret walks handsomely through her part. Youngsters James Caan and Katharine Ross walk woodenly through theirs. Estelle Winwood makes an all-too-brief appearance as a nutty ailurophile. About the only fun in Games is the eye-beguiling set-supposedly a Manhattan brownstone at 11 East 64th Street, equipped with penny-arcade machines, fun-house mirrors, pre-Columbian sculpture, a pearl-inlaid bed, and what must be the most blood-drenched elevator between Fifth and Madison...
