...Nebraska Governor's race between Orr and Boosalis, both women are polite and well spoken, but, as Orr puts it, "this is no Bake-Off." The candidates tend to agree on contentious issues like abortion (both oppose it), but neither has hesitated to exploit the other's weak points. Boosalis has tried to tie Orr to the Reagan Administration's unpopular farm policies, while Orr has pounced on Boosalis' proposals for restructuring property taxes as "devastating" to senior citizens. Few Nebraska voters gender an issue. When Baptist Pastor Everett Sileven jumped into the Republican primary and argued that female leadership...

One Chinese graffito penciled on a bathroom wall is raw, wonderful poetry: "Thinking of home brings tears. I don't know what day we can be freed from our worries.

Made by Japan's Sharp Electronics, this compact cooker is small enough (13 in. by 13 in.) to fit snugly into the tiniest studio apartment. It will bake a potato in six minutes, only a tad slower than the four minutes that a typical full-size microwave takes...
About 50 years ago my grandfather was travelling in upstate New York. Somebody asked him if he wanted to go to a local picnic--what he thought he heard was "clam bake."
