MOST IRRESISTIBLE CALORIC BINGE Not to be confused with the soap of the same name, the DoveBar is old news in Chicago but attained stardom in supermarkets and on street corners around the country in '85. The hard-to-handle quarter-pound ice-cream bar has a crackling coating of dark chocolate candy. Invented in the early 1950s by Chicago Confectioner Leo Stefanos, this frozen dessert melts all resistance even at prices that range from...
...blacks and whites alike, the most troubling event took place two days before Christmas, as holiday shoppers crowded the gaily decorated arcades of the Sanlam shopping center in Amanzimtoti, 18 miles south of Durban. Outside an ice-cream parlor, a crowd of parents and children had gathered around a festive display featuring Santa Claus when a bomb hidden in a nearby garbage bin exploded.

Beside them, a small puddle of chocolate sauce and lonely napkins lie on the floor, waiting to be scooped...
...part of the pleasure is physically rotating the book to follow each letter's permutations. For adults, Ernst's geometric designs and striking hues may evoke the color-field experiments of artist Josef Albers. Kids will be more interested in the way an upside-down A becomes a drippy ice-cream cone or a sideways E turns into an electric plug. Ernst's ingenuity is equal even to the challenge of letters that don't change when turned, like O (a bagel, an owl's eye, a fried egg) and X (a railroad-crossing sign, a treasure...
