Inspired by -- and also instigating -- this heat wave are such adventurous and widely known chefs as Mark Miller of Washington's Red Sage and Josefina Howard of New York City's Rosa Mexicano, who regularly experiment with chile- flavored dishes like duck tamales with herb salsa, roasted oysters with green jalapeno strips and chile-laced chocolate cake. Amateur cooks have joined the craze with the help of more than 20 cookbooks devoted exclusively to hot and spicy Mexican, Thai and Cajun foods. Mail-order outlets like Hot Stuff in New York City, Mo Hotta Mo Betta Co. in San Luis...

Herb Plambeck, an enterprising farm reporter and colleague of Ronald Reagan's at Des Moines' station WHO, brought the contestants together in a national match that thrust plowing into power politics. In 1948 Harry Truman headed for Dexter, Iowa, where 100,000 people had come to witness the meet. Truman gave the 80th Congress hell, delightedly kicked some newly turned clods of earth as if they were Republicans, and came away with a huge grin, convinced that the reception he got from the dirt farmers meant...

It has been a season of powerhouse new plays by August Wilson, Herb Gardner, Neil Simon, Brian Friel and Richard Nelson. It has been a season of movie- and TV-star glitter -- Jessica Lange, Alec Baldwin and Amy Madigan in A Streetcar Named Desire; Glenn Close, Gene Hackman and Richard Dreyfuss in Ariel Dorfman's politically inflamed Death and the Maiden; fast-rising Larry Fishburne, direct from the angry film Boyz N the Hood to Wilson...
