...bestselling pornographic novel that passes itself off as a satire on pornography, Drive, He Said is serious as all get out. Most of its fun is unintentional. Thus, in one chapter, Basketball Player Hector Bloom and his chick Olive spend a busy evening nuzzling each other outside a diner, are chased over hill and dale by a Cadillac jammed with knife-wielding apists (strangely, they seem to be baddies), make passionate love to celebrate their escape.

...cold board. The Spanish pavilion's Toledo and Granada restaurants dish up a numbing array of French and regional dishes.

There is even a female Silberputzer (silver cleaner) to keep chrome polished and to dust the aisles. On regular expresses, second-class passengers can count on spotlessly clean cars and hot meals in a diner. Last year 20,000 motorists stowed both themselves and their autos aboard overnight trains, slept their way to their destinations. No wonder the railroad hauls 45% of Germany's intercity passengers (v. 3% in the U.S.) and that a recent poll found that 53% of all Germans prefer trains...
Fathers & Mothers. Ostrea edulis is fast disappearing from the Atlantic coast of Europe. But the diner lucky enough to encounter one will not soon forget it: "Intimations of the ages of man, some piercing intuition of the sea and all its weeds and breezes shiver you a split second from that little stimulus on the palate. You are eating the sea and are on the verge of remembering something connected with the flavor of life itself...
