...Bologna, Italy's gastronomical heartland. Most are Belle Pomme regulars, eager to branch out into the mysteries of pasta, prosciutto, parmigiana, pesce and polio, not to mention savoring Marcella's gelato spazza camino (Scotch-laced vanilla ice cream chimneysweep style, so called because it is topped with finely ground espresso coffee "soot...

ABC's Good Morning, America continues to gain ground on the Today show, which once ate the competition for breakfast. Worse still, two weeks ago, the Nightly News briefly fell into third place in the ratings for the first time ever. The network partly attributed the drop to ABC's rejuvenated news operation. It also admitted that affiliate switches had hurt; in the past two years, NBC has lost ten major local stations...
