...Grilled Filet Mignon with Melting Marrow, Vegetable Ragout and Green Pepper Bordelaise ($27) looked succulent and quite fabulous under the floating fork of the adjacent table, as did the Grilled Veal Rib Chop with Marbled Mashed Potatoes and Natural Sage Jus ($29). The boldness of the flavors that come close to overwhelming the more delicate entree options would be perfectly tailored to accent the richer meat and fowl. Vegatarians need not feel unattended to: the Harvest Risotto of the night and the Sugar Pumpkin and Potato Gnocchi with Brown Butter, Sage and Mascarpone are mouthwatering in the mere description...
...that his passion for the modern has spread upward from Britain's House of Commons into the 700-year-old House of Lords. Under plans unveiled last week by Baroness Jay, the Labour government's leader of the Lords, Britain's 700 hereditary peers are about to get the chop. Twenty-one generations of Lord Fauntleroys influencing the affairs of the nation will come to an end. They will continue to have the right to call themselves Baron this and the Earl of that, and so will their firstborn sons. But they will no longer be admitted to the gold...
DIED. SHARI LEWIS, 65, puppeteer who animated both her inquisitive sidekick Lamb Chop and the quest for quality children's programming; of pneumonia; in Los Angeles.

...simplest pleasures are often the ones that beguile a child, and who was more beguiling than Shari Lewis, a woman with a demure sock named Lamb Chop (and two other socks named Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy)? Now, that was high-concept. Shari Lewis, who died Sunday of cancer in Los Angeles, was loved by kids from the moment she and her knitted friends first appeared on "Captain Kangaroo" in the '50s until 1963, when puppet-based children's programming gave way to the comic psychedelics of cartoons. Those same kids loved her when she came back in 1992, this...
That was the glad nerve Ruth palpated. When he showed up with his superfluity of power, the apparently effortless capacity to render moot all the niggling fine points of the contest, the game was instantly changed. The bunt, the stolen base, the Baltimore chop were back-burnered for decades. Ruth's brash Yankees went to the 1923 World Series against the New York Giants, the classiest tacticians of their day. The series went to six games, but the Babe poled three into the right-field seats, and the Yankee dynasty had begun. Heywood Broun spoke for millions of delighted fans...
