...birds, which weigh about 16 oz. when plucked and readied for the oven, should not in fact be eaten within hours of decease. They should be "hung" for at least three days to bring out their uniquely gamy flavor. At London's incomparable Connaught Hotel dining room, they are served in classic fashion: roasted but bloody, in their own juice, with paté, bread sauce or gravy and potato crisps, preferably accompanied by a light claret "to tone them down a bit," as Connaught Headwaiter Joseph O'Toole puts it. (Sherlock Holmes preferred his grouse fried with bacon...
Three years ago, the adviser for the Union dorms--Greenough, 8 Prescott St. and Pennypacker--thought it might make the foreign students more comfortable at Harvard to have a "critical mass" in one dorm. But by assembling a huge group of foreigners in Pennypacker, she limited the foreigners flavor of many of the other dorms. The failure of her experiment was not repeated...

The Thompson disk is the only current recording with the revised scoring. Though not from Bloch's top drawer, the work...
Venus has the oddly elusive flavor of a 19th century novel. The two central characters, seemingly so genteel, are an unlikely pair to wash up on the wilder shores of love. Grace and Caro Bell are sisters, beautiful and well-bred, with neither property nor prospects. Orphaned young in their native Australia, they emigrate to England in their early 20s, accompanied by their half-sister Dora, who is both incubus and guardian. To the touch, the girls' surface is all coolness; the heat seems to have been drawn out of them during their struggle against Dora's ravenous...
