...eager to cash in, and cookbooks for kids have come a long way since the Betty Betz Teenage Cookbook told nervous teens how to make a sandwich in 1953. "Cooking is the newest and coolest hobby for tweens [ages 8 to 12]," says Debra Dorfman, president and publisher of Grosset & Dunlop, a division of Penguin Putnam, which in May is launching a series called Dish. Each book will include a story about friendship and a recipe card. Another book, PB&J USA (Small Potatoes Press), puts a spin on that traditional favorite with recipes from real folk as well...
...paid 53% more than they would be for doing the same jobs on the mainland - protested plans to end their privileged status.

Said Falwell: "Neither the label 'fiction' nor the First Amendment gives Universal the right to libel, slander and ridicule the most central figure in world history...
...decision is final, said the federal district court, judgmentally; it makes no difference if Grosset has had a contract with the Stratemeyer Syndicate since 1930. That was an old story, and the latest adventures are as fresh as this spring's corn. Still, all was not black for Grosset. Although their claim for $300 million in damages was effectively dismissed, they would be allowed to publish the Tom Swift Jr. series, as specified in a 1951 agreement.
