When Clifford Ray took sons Richard, 10, Robert, 9, and Randy, 8, to the first - day of classes in Arcadia, Fla., last week, half the 693 students at Memorial Elementary School were missing. The Ray boys, all hemophiliacs, have been exposed to the AIDS virus, and many children were kept home...

The new American dishes served at her small and sophisticated restaurant are at once surprising yet comfortably familiar in taste. Now she and the artist Paul Davis, who painted the impressionistic seasonal mural that wraps around the walls of the restaurant, have put together a tiny, precise and endearing conceit: The Arcadia Seasonal Mural and Cookbook (Abrams; $14.95).
