Reporter-Researcher Sara Medina, who helped report the cover story, and Nancy Griffin, who wrote the section on cold-weather fashions, wage their battles to keep warm in New York City apartments. "Undershirts are the answer," advises Griffin. Medina has found a radical solution to the high cost of fuel. Says she: "We don't use the stuff." For the past six winters, Medina and her husband have made do with the 60° to 65° provided by a fireplace, southern exposed windows, weather stripping and heat from surrounding apartments. Says she: "We discovered the layered look...
...fascinating to see musicians there attempt to recover after the Gang of Four's efforts to dismantle Chinese culture," she says. "Instruments are few, scores even fewer, but there is no dearth of enthusiasm. In Shanghai, we watched a rehearsal of Swan Lake in a room so cold we could see our breath.

...tale about the rediscovery of music in a society that is totally programmed and controlled. Called Lifehouse, the piece was intended to be a kind of environmental theater event.

(A more prosaic version traces marmalade to marmelo, the Portuguese word for quince, the original ingredient.) Leg of mutton is still known by its French name, gigot, though it is pronounced "jiggott." A superb chicken dish that sounds quintessentially...
Kirk's counterpart, Lieutenant Commander Spock (Leonard Nimoy), prized cold logic. Half-human, half pointy-eared green-blooded native of the planet Vulcan, the ship's science officer delighted in complex calculation, excelled at the mystical mindmeld and the mundane "Spock pinch," and continually confronted the fluctuations of Kirk's human emotions with rigorous Vulcan rationality. Even though he often sparred verbally and physically, with Kirk and Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), the crusty old ship's surgeon from Georgia, Spock demonstrated that his heart was in the right place (about where the liver is in humans...
