Atlanta's Cafe 458 opened for business last week, offering a menu of beef Bourguignon, chicken-and-rice casserole, salad, green beans, corn, chocolate cheesecake and peaches. But "food is not really what we're serving here," explained one of the founders, the Rev. A.B. Short. "What we're serving is friendship, hospitality, brotherhood and sisterhood."

...been a natural composer, said that a true artist is like an apple tree, and when he feels the need, he bursts into flower without ever thinking about the market price of apples. Conversely, it would seem that an apple tree is a work of art, a rhapsody in green and white.
