...life, and so it's perfect for a first-quality restaurant." Lower overhead and less competition are also factors. Andre Surmain, the founder of New York's Lutece but now known for his Relais a Mougins in the south of France, opened a branch last winter in Palm Beach, Fla. He is encouraged enough to have what he calls "other tricks up my toque...
...Atlantic Reaper, a fishing boat out of Admiral's Beach, Nfld., was about six miles from land last week when crew members noticed unusual blips on the radar screen. Captain Gus Dalton changed course to investigate and soon came upon two lifeboats packed with passengers. Realizing that he could not squeeze all of them onto his 55-footer, Dalton radioed two other fishing craft in the area. The three boats loaded up and headed for the provincial capital of St. John's. On the way they met a Canadian fisheries patrol boat, which took on the 146 men, four women...

Firing 60-mm mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons, the attackers concentrated on well-populated areas, including a beach and a sports complex. Miraculously, casualties were limited to two injured women and a slightly damaged building. Several hours later the Unified Nasserite Organization, a previously unknown group, claimed in Beirut that it had carried out the raid primarily in retaliation for British support of the U.S. bombing of Libya...
