Though Japanese restaurants have popped up like bean sprouts throughout the U.S., all but the most intrepid American cooks refrain from emulating their cuisine. A pity. For, as Master Chef and Teacher Shizuo Tsuji demonstrates hi Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art (Kodansha; $14.95), Japanese food at its best is intrinsically austere, as much a matter of balance-texture, flavors, colors and freshness-as anything else.

...titled the International Culinary Art Exhibition-a four-man U.S. team for the first time beat out all other entrants in the hot food dish category. In the cold dish department the American squad also earned gold medals. Individual team members won a dozen golds and a silver.

Crimson band member Meg Ziegler said about last Friday's battle of the bands in the Yard, "When they started playing Santana we knew we were out of our league." Stanford's halftime show, "Brief History of American Violence," featured an ax formation in honor of Lizzie Borden, and S&M formation, and one of Sid V., a tribute to the Sex Pistols. Music such as "Satisfaction" and "It Don't Come...
...visit bobsledding one week, take in cliff-diving in Acapulco the next, and perhaps watch the pounding of the Firecracker 500, then one will have seen sport. McPhee's corollary: the variety of human experience means simply that if he can capture one of everything-accountant and orange grower, chef and outdoorsman, barber and candlestick maker-then he will have captured life...
