...chefs have shown more culinary flair than Rosenzweig. Among her classic dishes: chimney-smoked lobster glossed with tarragon butter and buttressed against a crisp cake of threadlike Chinese noodles; roast quail with rhubarb bedded down on dandelion greens; and homespun corn cakes topped with caviar and creme fraiche. Similarly, Joyce Goldstein, chef-owner of the stylish Square One in San Francisco, creates an aura of flavor unity on a menu that may offer crusty Italian bread, Russian mushroom soup, pungent Korean steak and a very American spiced persimmon pudding...
Instead, this promises to be the Year of the Classic Toy. Come Christmas morning, living rooms will be spread with some new variations on some old favorites: Lionel trains snaking around the tree, Barbie waving from her red Ferrari, G.I. Joe rappelling from the chimney with care. There will be Lego castles aloft by Christmas dinnertime, cabins carved of Lincoln Logs, and portraits etched on the Etch A Sketch. Even some new hits, like Lewis Galoob's Micro Machines, are souped-up successors to such staples as Matchbox cars. "All these toys have predictable long life," says Peter Harris, president...

After waiting for 2 1/2 hrs. to call his wife, one man is greeted by an answering machine, and his howls echo through the smoke as he storms back to his tent...
...kilns are mounded, cavelike structures of concrete, lighted by air holes in the curved roofs. There is a door at either end, and Ray backed his truck in one. Inside the kiln, soot coated the walls. It was damp and smelled of wet chimney. Ray worked fast, standing on the truck bed, stacking his load on a base left by another woodcutter, filling the kiln up to the ceiling 5 ft. above his head. His safety depends on how well the previous woodcutter stacked his load. Once, warned by a slight noise, he had just enough time to jump away...
