...again debating the death penalty. The monster is unimpressed. "Willie Bosket is gonna keep striking," he says. "If they / bring back the death penalty, I won't kill. I'll just maim. I want to live every day I can just to make them regret what they've done...
...Hazan has good reason not to despair. In the past two decades, Hazan, 65, a former biology researcher, has done more to help refine America's Spaghetti O taste buds than any other Italian cook. Her first effort, in 1973, The Classic Italian Cookbook, is the definitive textbook on Italian cooking in America.

We take an active stance. We get things done. And though we are open to those seeking information, we have adopted a policy similar to that of the Harvard academic community: the knowledge is here for your consumption, but we will not spoon-feed it to you. Spending our time proselytizing would mean one less Black child that we got off the streets and into a tutoring...
