...Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, the 18th century French gastronome. His aphorism is especially true today. The U.S., long the melting pot of a dozen national cuisines, shows signs of becoming stratified along culinary as well as philosophical and political lines. The blacks are proudly eating soul foods, the hardhats feast on as much red meat as they can afford, and the white-collar liberals seem to be keeping down their cholesterol with chicken and veal. The youth of Woodstock Nation? With almost religious zeal, they are becoming vegetarians. They are also in the vanguard of the flourishing organic-food movement...

For the moment, Israel's mood is relaxed; the nation last week celebrated the harvest feast of Sukkoth. The top news on Radio Israel, with a cease-fire in effect, was not battle casualties but the early arrival of the winter rains...

...pilgrims. Isola del Gran Sasso is an island of noisy prosperity in the depressed area of the Abruzzi Mountains because of the shrine of San Gabriele dell' Ad-dolorato, who is revered for his patience and submission to the will of superiors. On the saint's feast day, Feb, 21, the piazza in front of the shrine rings with the din of jukeboxes and shooting galleries and the cries of vendors selling rosaries and cold beer. Some 300,000 pilgrims yearly visit the shrine of St. Philomena in Mugnano del Cardinale, near Naples-even though Philomena was removed...
Mile. Helene (Stephane Audran) is the attractive schoolmistress in the placid provincial town. She befriends the local butcher Popaul (Jean Yanne) at a wedding feast and later presents him with a cigarette lighter. But their tranquil country life is disrupted by a taste of urban terror: a girl's body is found horribly mutilated. Soon another grisly murder is committed; this time Helene discovers the body while on a picnic with her students. Next to the body is a lighter that appears to be Popaul's. Helene finds herself I caught in a maelstrom of dark violence...
