...latest culinary triumph is the Fountain, in the Four Seasons Hotel that opened in 1983. Delectable and pricey masterpieces include the wild-boar pate, shrimp-filled ravioli in a frothy, piquant butter sauce, and a stylish appetizer salad of snow peas and tender slivers of warm, sauteed squid. A golden-brown turnip sauce burnishes a sauteed veal chop, juicy roast pheasant tops cabbage mellowed with bacon, and hazelnuts accent a silky chocolate ramekin...
...never mind that the budget was already in deficit. It took more than a year for Heller to convince Kennedy and two more years before a skeptical Congress came around. But once the tax cut was passed in 1964, the economy entered what now seems to have been a golden age. The upturn that began in 1961 continued for 100 months, still a record, while unemployment shriveled and inflation remained...
...Bakker would have it, the coffers are nearly empty. There is no more maid service, and PTL is to cut off all money as of June.

...guises, not all of them improvements. Among the better results are the brilliantly cold, clear oysters; bluepoints, Cotuits and belons are handsomely served on seaweed- strewn ice with a cocktail sauce that has a thicker, lusher texture than in the past. Other welcome additions are the puffy, golden-brown crab cakes with a gossamer horseradish-butter-cream sauce and the rose-pink calves liver bedded down on red-onion marmalade. Chicken hash, as always, is really creamed chicken but fresher and more flavorful...
