...solve any conflict over statehood, fishing rights, or coconut claims. But today's burgeoning bureaucracy hides the reins of power from the people beneath greasy, matted layers of agencies, offices, and aides; everyone is involved but no one knows what they are doing. Like crowds of cooks busy with broth, democracy will surely contaminate the soup of state...
...Latin version of New England boiled dinner, and carbonada criolla, beef stew served in a pumpkin. One notable entry is a veal stew from Jerez, Spain's sherry capital, redolent of fino; a dish from Italy is called maiale affogato, meaning drowned pork, in white wine and chicken broth. Lamb stews, to many are the most glorious of all. Main-Course selections worth adding to the cook's repertoire include an exotic Persian-style khoreshe with dried fruits, nuts and split peas; Italian abbacchio alia ciociara, in which the lamb is braised in cognac with ham; and Greek...
...diverse cuisine, embracing the cookery of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, representing regions from the Black Sea to the Arctic Circle, reflecting tsarist extravagance and peasant reality. (Goldstein will follow a recipe for sturgeon soup with champagne, a favorite of Catherine the Great, with ukha, a fisherman's broth.) The author learned many dishes from her grandmother, an emigre from Byelorussia; and in her great-grandfather's butcher shop, she writes, "Marc Chagall played as a child." An assistant professor of Russian literature at Williams College, she has also feasted on native fare as a student in Leningrad...
...main types. All can cause paralysis, but one type causes more than the others combined. Within each type there are many different strains. The Salk vaccine is made by taking a representative strain of each type and growing it-till it reaches many times its original strength-in a broth made with snips of monkey kidney. (To keep production going, 4,000 monkeys a month are flown in from India and the Philippines.) Then the virus in each deadly brew is killed with formaldehyde. Strangely, although the virus particles now lose their power to multiply or to cause disease, they...
...switch to native Korean dress. The bright and multicolored costumes include long skirts (chima) and short, flared blouses (chogori). They had orange juice and sandwich wedges on hand for the tourist passengers, fancy snacks of chicken florentine, zucchini au gratin, rice and cheddar croquettes, and soba, a Japanese broth, for the first-class travelers. Everything presumably would have seemed normal as the passengers munched and dozed their way toward Seoul...
