HOTTEST NEWS The bistro. The food world seems to concur that this traditional favorite is back in style, but there is little agreement about what the word means. To some it stands for eateries serving such traditional French fare as coq au vin, pot-au-feu and gigot. To others a bistro is merely a cafe with quick and simple food, much of it indistinguishable from California cuisine. Symbolic of the confusion is the representation in a new book, American Bistro, by Irena Chalmers and Friends (Contemporary; $35). Cited are Kansas City's high-style American Restaurant and the posh...

Similarly, 44% concur that pornography can "provide a useful outlet for people who are sexually frustrated" (41% disagree and 15% are uncertain). But such apparent tolerance fades when respondents are asked about specific adverse effects...
...Stanley H. Kaplan Educational Center concur totally and wholeheartedly. That is why Kaplan has never offered, and will never offer, a "cram course" of the kind with which our programs are occasionally confused. Thirty-plus hours of live instruction spread across eight weeks, another 30 or so hours of suggested home study, and an available library of over 200 hours of practice and review material written by a research staff of qualifications similar to those of the actual test writers--all this cannot possibly constitute "cramming" by any reasonable definition...
