Woolf draws attention to something that we often forget: Good conversation takes cultivating. It is not enough to meet at a dining hall at 6 p.m., fresh from section or work, and hope to launch into a deep, meaningful or even relaxed conversation. It is not enough to make do with lukewarm corn and limp pasta and hope to foster a night of insights. We must accept that on many nights, Dining Services, no matter how well-intentioned, will not present us with anything more than stringy prunes and plain gravy soup. We must conjure our own culinary havens...
...ripe glass of wine, time becomes something to savor rather than to fight against. A cozy restaurant, or perhaps the common room to your kitchened suite, becomes the world for a few hours. Some music to fill the emptiness, some bread to soak up the sauce, and you will forget about the assignments due Monday. The conversation will flow. Aromas of basil and garlic will fill your senses.

Vivaldi humorously depicts such antics as poor folks falling on their derrieres after sliding over the ice with the sweeping phrasing of the baroque guitar. Then, he clemently rushes us all home with a competently executed Largo, to the family values warmth of fireside, cocoa with mini marshmallows and mom. The first and second violins joined with the fat, dull twang of the bass in an extended pizzicato, successfully evoking a grandfather clock...
...this is the lean, fat-free 1990s, and superpremium ice-cream sales have been flatter than Nebraska, which makes Ben & Jerry's just another company with a management problem. So forget all the sugary explanations heard since CEO Robert Holland said on Sept. 27 that he would resign. The party line: Holland accomplished his mission, solving production problems and launching critical expansions into new products and countries; now the company needs a CEO with greater marketing skills...
