...bigger than most apartment kitchens, include dinner and a next-day brunch. They would probably earn the rolling restaurant one toque in the Gault-Millau Guide. After dinner, Chef Ranvier gives one impressed guest his recipe for le foie gras de canard cuit naturellement. At brunch, rocketing through the broad plains of northern Italy, there is an exceptional dish of small chickens with Albufera sauce. The wine cellar on wheels is more than adequate.

Director Edward Stone has set a frenetic pace that jams to a halt, like traffic in a rush-hour gridlock, whenever the entire eight-actor ensemble crowds onto the stage. The performances, though a bit broad for so intimate a space, are clever: Mara Beckerman is just irksome enough as the naive heroine, Alan Brasington swishily grand as her abductor, and Merle Louise, Polly Pen and especially Emcee Michael McCormick polished and persuasive as show-must-go-on troupers.

This year, Verba says he'll ask his student-faculty committee to begin examining a broad and much-talked about subject teaching in sections. The goal will be, as it was with credit and honors discussions to develop a sensible, unified policy for all departments. Students who don't get to know Verba through his administrative work may end up taking a course from him. He will, in addition to a high-level Gov course, be teaching the Sesame Street-level Government 30. "Introduction to American Government," a traditional favorite among freshmen...
