...lobsters and clam chowder, Annapolis Valley baked apple dumplings, and a sturdy pudding called blueberry grunt. On the prairies the great delicacy is smoked Winnipeg goldeye (a Canadian lake fish) done to a golden turn, and Vancouver brings forth huge meaty crabs from the icy waters of Boundary Bay...
Culture's Bastion. "Fred" Allen, 58 years old this week, is a tall (6 ft.), spare (130 lbs.) Bostonian whose modest prayer is that his mind will always be larger than his frame.

A discreetly pulled wire got him a job with the New York Herald Tribune. In its Washington bureau, where his first official appearance was at a White House party, he found politics more fun than Proust...
