Nevertheless, Microwave Gourmet, by Barbara Kafka (Morrow; 575 pages; $19.95), should help those who have bought these electronic miracles and now wonder why.

An odd credential to flash. It undermines Wicker...
...duty. Those who are accepted will be issued weapons and given training. The Communists are fighting back. Police last week found the body of a man in a cloth bag along a Manila highway. On the sack were the words THIS IS A VIGILANTE. Says Max Soliven, a columnist for the daily Philippine Star: "The seeds of civil war are being sown, and nobody can predict where it will...
