...Mayors' Cookbook (Acropolis Books; $14.95), a collection of more than 300 city leaders' favorite dishes. The contents are not only eclectic but reflect a politically prudent regional loyalty: Ed Koch of New York City advocates pasta primavera and Kathryn Whitmire of Houston sings the merits of huevos con chorizo (eggs with sausage). But gourmets may balk when it comes to the Lone Star broccoli casserole, the preferred dish of Mayor Jerry V. Debo III of Grand Prairie, Texas. The ingredients: two boxes of frozen broccoli, one can of cream of celery soup, one cup of rice...

While sanctions prohibit new American investments in South Africa, they do not affect the billions of dollars that U.S. companies have already invested in operations there. Thus the American business presence in South Africa has continued to be a focus for con-troversy, as well as a major public relations problem for many large U.S. companies.
