With the American sweet tooth ever aching for fulfillment, it is no wonder that the role of the pastry chef has become more glamorous and more highly paid in recent years. At the Culinary Arts Division of Johnson & Wales University in Providence, a two-year pastry program that began with 13 students in 1983 now has 208 who are learning to perfect such all-American favorites as cheesecake (the choice of one out of four restaurant dessert eaters), apple pie, fruit tarts and chocolate everything. "Making pastry requires creativity," says Arlene Chorney, an administrator at the school. "It's edible...
Arriving at RJR's Manhattan offices about 1:15 a.m., Roberts flinched at the sight of Cohen puffing away on his ever present cigar and asked sarcastically if RJR, which sells some 290 billion cigarettes a year, also made cigars.

Effective Presidents, for the most part, do not taunt and humiliate adversaries when conducting diplomacy or pursuing legislation. In war, yes, but war is a last resort. A President's task is to reconcile, to include. Hence, Richard Nixon...
...embassy on the same downtown Moscow site. This time, to ensure a bug-free building, State Department officials plan to prefabricate most of it in the U.S., ship it to Moscow in pieces and have it assembled by imported American workers with security clearance. Estimated cost: $400 million. Ever optimistic, the Administration hopes to cut that total by dunning the Soviets for $29 million in damages for shoddy workmanship and delays on the initial project...
