...military wing of the black-power group the Pan-Africanist Congress. Political violence over the past three years has claimed more than 10,000 lives. But until Hani, no major political leader had been assassinated since Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd, the architect of apartheid, was stabbed in the chest by a messenger in Cape Town's parliament building...
...Tita finds in cooking the steam of sorcery. When Pedro marries her sister Rosaura (Yareli Arizmendi) simply to be near Tita, she bakes a wedding cake that leaves the celebrators sick or spellbound. When Pedro dares to give her a bouquet of roses, she presses them ecstatically to her chest -- the scratches are as close as she can get to Pedro's caresses -- and then prepares a heady quail with rose-petal sauce. Her culinary witchcraft will affect many births, marriages and deaths. But they will not stanch her tears...
...anyone has the knowledge and nerve to pick his way through the minefield, Aspin is the one -- provided his health holds up.

In one study, angioplasty reduced by half the risk of death or another heart attack six months after...
HERE'S A SPLASHY, SWAGGERING CRIME novel with a lot of what would be chest hair and gold chains if it were a human male instead of a book. But Robert Ferrigno's THE CHESHIRE MOON (Morrow; $20) is just mirror tough; it sneaks a glance at itself too often, likes what it sees too much. Quinn, the hero, is supposed to be a stressed-out investigative reporter; and since this is Los Angeles, he's got a bigfoot Jeep with a camo paint job (there's a plot, but first things first) and a drop-dead Japanese-American photog...
