...Welcome to America!" What sounds like the official greeting at a U.S. international airport is in fact the standard hello to customers at one of New York City's newest, largest and most successful café-restaurants, called America. In a larger sense, that greeting is equally appropriate for style-conscious eaters who formerly restricted their gastronomic forays to France, where they devoted vacation times to seeking out the specialties of superstar chefs like Paul Bocuse, Michel Guérard and the Troisgros brothers. Now with equal zeal, many such adventurers are beginning to tour the U.S., eager to sample the highly...
...than two decades. He could not condone the notion, he said, of keeping the peace by threatening to blow up the world. We must, he implored Gorbachev, "find a better way."

"I lost faith in my own voice, and I liked the stage because the characters do all the talking for you." The shift brought criticism: "I was very conscious of the disapproval of friends and reviewers who felt I was taking a rather sharp step downward." Since then, however, playwriting has won Frayn a wider following and much more money than his earlier ventures: Noises Off has been running for four years in London, and Steven Spielberg paid producers...
Nakasone is acutely conscious of his country's $52.6 billion international trade surplus. While visiting Reagan in Washington three weeks ago, the Prime Minister seemed to promise that Japan would stimulate its economy to boost imports. But at the same time, Japanese officials are trying to bolster the country's exports through intervention in the currency markets. Says Bank of Japan Governor Satoshi Sumita: "We strongly hope the market will stabilize." Despite those politely phrased misgivings, the official Japanese presummit position, from Foreign Ministry Spokesman Yoshio Hatano, is a bland assertion that "the economic conditions in the summit countries...
