...ever dreamed of partying on the beach with a huge, all-the-fixin's clambake--complete with damp rocks, a recalcitrant fire and lobsters that trudge purposefully out from under the tarp--Sheila Lukins' U.S.A. Cookbook (Workman; $19.95) is the way to go. Better to read about her fresh peas than harvest your own bullets, and to serve her herbed bass than your limp concoction that drives the guests out after the lobsters...
...original 1989 case. Although Kelly and Wilson were sentenced to life in prison, procedural mistakes made during the trial resulted in the convictions being overturned. If not for their desire to "allow (the children's) wounds to heal," prosecutors say evidence against the pair would certainly end in a fresh conviction on the 99 charges remaining against them. While that knowledge might provide scant comfort to some, for Susan Small, mother of two of the Little Rascals victims, seeing the abuses aired in a public forum has been vengeance enough. "I'm at peace with the decision...
...used to. As an undergraduate in the late 1970s, it was easy to cultivate foreboding: democracy seemed washed up; both inflation and unemployment were out of control; warheads were pointed our way; the '60s had left a residue of chaos without idealism (you know--Altamont).

Well, let's see: there's the failure of the budget deal to adequately address middle-class entitlements. A nontrivial problem, but not a crisis like the wars...
...addition to Weil's existing books, three new ones--largely compilations of questions and answers skimmed from his Website--are in the works, and requests for other books, personal appearances and television shows arrive every day. Weil's publishers justifiably expect a fresh explosion of sales sometime next year when 8 Weeks to Optimum Health, which is still on the best-seller lists as a hardcover, at last appears in paperback. The barnstorming touring that Weil has agreed to of late has done a good job of keeping all this merchandise moving, but it has come at a personal price...
...meticulous construction and details of the book are matched by a measured lyricism as ripe and succulent as a fresh papaya. A dead woman's throat is "an estuary of color and disorder"; a father and daughter camp under "the quickening wounds of a million stars." A refrigerator coughs "like a four-pack-a-day smoker," and nothing seems impossible, not even a man killed by a hurricane-blown avocado. Drawing on the inheritance of an almost folkloric wisdom, Garcia is unafraid of suggesting that passion is "a frail interlude between the prosperities of loss...
