...Community Services for Children (CSC), a nonprofit organization that oversees Head Start programs in Allentown, Pa. On Monday nights, couples convene at a Boys & Girls Club, dropping off their children with caregivers provided by the program. The moms and dads share canned soda and free dinners such as chicken, potatoes and gravy before the two instructors--Gregory Edwards, author of the program's curriculum, and a female social worker--lead discussions on finances, household chores and parenting. Faverey, a mentor for Head Start families who is trained in relationship and child-development issues, follows up by visiting each couple...
...improvised from an outline, Sykes tries out a different job every episode, apparently unhappy with the 50 she already holds. And since Sykes is extremely curious about what society deems unacceptable and in particular how to use those things to get herself more attention, she flew to the Chicken Ranch, the legal brothel in Pahrump, Nev., that was the basis for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (whorehouses, unsurprisingly, sometimes have to flee the state).

Since this is another form of promotion, Sykes briefly considers it in the limo ride back to the Mandalay Bay. Finally, she sighs and says, "I can't run for office with my picture on the Chicken Ranch website." The woman really is planning to do every job in the country...
...asmara tibsy, one of the house specialties. The small sautéed cubes of beef melt in your mouth amid a swirl of onions, green peppers, chilies and unidentifiable spices. Spin it again for some alitcha ahmilti, a brightly-colored vegetable stew in yellow curry-esque sauce, or for chicken marinated in garlic and herbs and bathed in a flavorful red pepper stew...
