...restaurant, K-Paul's. The Prudhomme Family Cookbook (Morrow; 446 pages; $19.95) dishes up "old-time Louisiana recipes by the eleven Prudhomme brothers and sisters." This richly fragrant fare, based on lusty ingredients and strong Cajun seasonings, is not for dieters or the faint-palated. Jambalayas, boudins and gumbos abound. Prudhomme not only contributed his blackened-redfish recipe to Claiborne's book but also repeats it here, along with far more appropriate recipes for blackening chicken, hamburgers and pork chops, a technique that relies on spices and an almost white-hot iron skillet...
Israel claims it has done more than any other occupier to improve the quality of life in Gaza. That is relatively true: cars abound, hospitals and clinics dot the landscape, even the camps have telephones and washing machines. But parts of Gaza City, the strip's largest population center, have water only twice a week in the summer, and sewage frequently floods the drinking supply. What are Israel's ultimate plans for Gaza?

Other mottoes include, "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, it's where you go to school," "They may beat us on the field, We will beat them off," and, "Harvard's the disease, Yale's the Cure...
Cocteau wove overt references to popular culture into his adaptation of the classic. Hints of thrillers, dime romances and detective films abound in the tale of the poet Orpheus's (Jim May) descent into Hades and return with his bride Eurydice (Magdalena Hernandez). Prascak, perhaps true to Cocteau's intentions, begins the play with a Madonna medley and transforms Death (Jennifer Lyn Bader) into a lovely Material Girl in white...
COMPLACENT, insulting lines like this abound in the script, making it difficult for us to appreciate Schroeder's solid direction of a highly competent cast. Rourke has genuine negative charisma in this film, in contrast to his vapid, one dimensional sex magnet persona in 9 1/2 Weeks. Here he's a sex symbol straight out of the Cuisinart, with his bloodstained tee shirts and battered face, and he remains likeable through the corniest moments. For all his apocalyptic late night poetry scribbling and implausible literary references, we can understand why Wanda and Tully fall in love with him, and even...
