...subject often neglected by other guides. The NYC Access entry on the design of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel ("an understated and elegantly detailed composition") reports such esoteric details as the underground railroad station from which Franklin Roosevelt was whisked to his suite by a secret elevator. The books abound in learned footnotes and pleasant trivia (the pianist at the Waldorf's Peacock Alley uses an instrument once owned by Cole Porter, who lived in the hotel). New York restaurant critiques, by Daily News Food Editor Arthur Schwartz, are deft and sometimes devastating. At the toplofty "21" Club, the guide...
...average Harvard theater-goer who hears the names Warner and Rauch constantly lumped together, that difference--a very definite one in style and approach--may not be apparent. Superficial similarities do abound. Both Rauch and Warner wince at words like "experimental" and "avant-garde," but one thing is undeniable: Nobody who goes to a production by either of them expects familiar renditions of old favorites, even when the posters promise Romeo and Juliet or Twelfth Night or even Cinderella.

The 8,000-ft. airstrip at the base was improved and extended by U.S. Army engineers last year, during the joint U.S.-Honduran military exercise known as Big Pine II. Another helpful installation for the F.D.N. is a sophisticated training base 90 miles southwest of Tegucigalpa, originally built by the U.S. The contras have also made use of Tiger Island, a hush-hush radar station in the Gulf of Fonseca that...
...toughness has helped to slow those tax-protest groups that refuse to file. Cheaters and finaglers still abound; hiding income and dreaming up new evasions and shelters, they will rob the country of $90 billion or more this year. They are still gaining on Egger, but he believes that with more simplification and computerization he can one day hold...
