...filming The French Connection II, a sequel to the award-winning 1971 dope flick. But as any real narc could tell them, this time they have the wrong location. For the moment at least, the French connection has been largely broken, along with the heroin-processing laboratories on the Cote d'Azur and the Corsican drug rings that ran them. The new center for the European heroin trade is, of all places, the jewel-box city of Amsterdam...
Pavilion's closing is the latest in a palate-deadening series. The past two years have seen the closing of several notable Manhattan restaurants. A tasty collection of classic cuisine restaurants (many of them run or staffed by Pavilion graduates) still survive in Manhattan: La Cote Basque, La Caravelle, La Grenouille. Most, however, are caught in the same cost-price squeeze that forced Pavilion to close. Pavilion's dedication to excellence, for example, dictated a kitchen staff of 30 to 40 and about that number working the floor: an average of one employee per four meals. Many newer...

Catch the show fast lest the Nielsen ratings get there first...

"They don't always realize that the nurse who seems brusque must take ten more temperatures and half a dozen blood pressures and thus doesn't have time to stop and chat." But, she is quick to add, many complaints about doctors and nurses are justified. "Hospital personnel have to understand that the patient is upset. He's upset by his illness. He's worried about who's going...
