...billing. (Arnaud's, Brennan's and Antoine's, with their dreary, badly prepared food, need not apply, and Paul Prudhomme's newer legend, K-Paul's, is a hassle and uneven.) Galatoire's is a turn-of-the- century set piece with white woodwork, beveled mirrors and brass coat hooks. Waiters are crisply professional; they even chop ice from huge blocks so drinks stay cold and undiluted. The overwhelming attraction is the lush Creole seafood: shrimp remoulade with its brassy mustard and paprika-zapped sauce; plump oysters Rockefeller; trout meuniere amandine, fragrant with hot brown butter and almond slices...
...Navy brass had feared for weeks that the tragedy of Iran Air 655 would claim another victim: the controversial Aegis system aboard the U.S.S. Vincennes.

More than once in his 23 years as a researcher, producer, vice president and finally president of CBS News, Howard Stringer must have cursed the network's top brass. With one eye on the ratings and another on the bottom line, they have too often canceled a news program before it had a chance to catch on. Now Stringer will have no one to blame but himself. Last week, in a dramatic realignment of CBS management, Chief Executive Laurence Tisch elevated Stringer, 46, to the presidency of the CBS Broadcast Group. Though he has no direct experience in entertainment programming...
