...America's Family Magazine" was out to raise a bigger family of readers. Last week, as a recruiting poster, Look ran a double helping of cheesecake on its cover: a hairy-chested youth and a golden-haired girl, lolling in bathing suits more fiction than fact.

...with two trunks of pots & pans and no money. With borrowed funds and a $40 stove which she "found in a junk heap,"she started the Cordon Bleu. Several thousand students (including such stove-struck celebrities as Harold Lloyd, Joan Fontaine and Nicholas Roosevelt, and many a society girl about to marry) have gone to school in her kitchen. Mrs. Lucas does all the marketing, cooking, teaching and telecasting herself, and writes cookbooks in her spare time (last week she was working on five new ones...
