...teachers of history (both received Ph.D.s from Yale in 1973). Authors Davidson and Lytle want to interest others in the challenges and occasional romance of their discipline. Historians, they insist, are not simply messengers in time, bearers of immutable facts: "For better or worse [they] inescapably leave an imprint as they go about their business: asking interesting questions about apparently dull facts, seeing connections between subjects that had not seemed related before, shifting and rearranging evidence until it assumes a coherent pattern. The past is not history; only the raw material...
...longer quite true, as the old saw had it, that the English have only three vegetables, two of them cabbage. However, English-born Jane Garmey roams far and wide to bag the better culinary hand-me-downs. Though a number of great Continental chefs left their imprint on upper-class English fare-Carême, Escoffier, Francatelli and Soyer all lived for years in London-the good things today come almost entirely from peasantry and province. A well-made Lancashire hot pot, a deep casserole of lamb chops and kidneys, ranks with a French pot-au-feu. Even shepherd...
...Cubans already there. Particularly in Little Havana, on Miami's near southwest side, the new wave is vividly manifest: everywhere there are shoeshine stands and new immigrants on the streets hawking lemons and limes, flowers, hot peanuts and granizado (flavored ice). But the newcomers' statistical imprint is less charming. Most of them receive food stamps, and 45,000 live below the Government's official poverty line for the area ($7,412 for a family of four). They are committing suicide at seven times the average rate in the U.S., and the leading cause of death among them...
...probably the most influential men's wear designer in the '70s, he is being hailed in his sixth year of designing for women as Cardin and Courreges were in the '60s. (And being well rewarded: his sales worldwide last year totaled $120 million.) The Armani imprint is detectable in many of his competitors' designs. Says Carla Fendi, of the Roman family of designers: "He has created a unique style, one that you can recognize without a label." No label is needed when the designer has a pedigree-and Armani's coat of arms would...
...three swift strokes, he decontrolled domestic oil prices, abolished the moribund Council on Wage and Price Stability, and placed a 60-day freeze on about 100 pending federal regulations that were issued in the final days of the Carter Administration. None of those steps will make an indelible imprint on the economy, but taken together they show that the new Administration intends to translate the program outlined during the presidential campaign into specific Government policy. Said Reagan: "The clear message I received in the election campaign is that we must gain control of this inflationary monster. I want the American...
