Usage:

First, procure a copy of America's best-loved cookbook and shred it thoroughly. Add to the mix one cookbook scion, one volatile editor and a panel of food experts from across the country. Season with $5 million. Stir in large cups of envy, greed, backbiting and publishing gossip. Let simmer over high heat for three years, producing plenty of hurt feelings and howls of outrage from some of the food experts. Should serve 500,000 helpings and maybe a lot more if garnished with big, crisp publicity lettuce...

...Jane Fonda? I occasionally wonder as I consider taping over my Prime Time Workout cassette to record ER. She's been basking happily the past six years in the shadow of her mogul husband Ted Turner (vice chairman of Time Warner), watching the buffalo roam and writing a cookbook (perhaps the only one with a section on eating disorders). Now, however, she has left the deer stand (she hunts with Ted) and returned to the klieg lights. What lured her was a pressing need--to reduce teen pregnancy--and an enemy, conservative Republicans who attached strings to $250 million...

...revamp is unlikely to raise the same outcry. Last week's color photographs--like a food-section collage of colored pastas arranged into a map of Italy--were eye-catching but decorous. Stories in the new sections included such entertaining fare as a look at cookbook recipes that don't work and a design review of TV talk-show sets. But make no mistake: this is still your father's New York Times. The lead story in Monday's arts section was about a dead opera singer--Maria Callas--while an architecture review of a new Holocaust museum...

Someone in the publishing industry has sauteed up an ingenious scheme: spear a celebrity for a book deal, cut ghostwriter costs by churning out recipes instead of paragraphs and voila!, instant profit. Riverhead editor Mary South puts it in gentler terms: "Cookbooks are a great way for celebrities to do a biography without having to do a tell-all." South will help Patti LaBelle, who was been known to rustle up a mean meal on the road, dish out her culinary secrets next year. Even a reed-thin celebrity who was never seen in an apron will...

...Chicago Eight (they were tried for inciting riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention) caused the judge to order him shackled to a chair and gagged. In 1973 Seale tried working within the system, running unsuccessfully for mayor of Oakland, Calif. He has since published a memoir and a cookbook, Barbeque'n with Bobby. These days his political focus is on "civil-human rights." He is a volunteer community liaison for Temple University, encouraging youths to enroll in academic programs, and runs a training program introducing young people to information-based technology...
