...long way toward explaining both the Reagan landslide and the political division that has been its ironic consequence: The New Class War, by leftist political scientists Frances Fox Piven and Richard A. Cloward, and Post-Conservative America, by conservative commentator Kevin Phillips. Both works bear the ideological imprint of their authors; but both are also tough-minded and refreshingly iconoclastic examinations of the social forces that are shaping American politics...
...occasionally, as the evening traffic-prostitutes and pimps, bedraggled mental cases and loiterers-begins to saunter up the boulevard, one can sense something of old Hollywood. In front of the Chinese Theater, a knot of tourists may be gathered, staring at the imprint of Jean Harlow's heels in the cement, TO SID: IN SINCERE APPRECIATION: JEAN HARLOW: SEPT...
...borrowers be thwarted? There are attempts. Some hopefuls glue EX LIBRIS stickers to the inside covers (clever drawings of animals wearing glasses, and so forth)-as if the presence of Latin and the imprint of a name were so formidable as to reverse a motor reflex.

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...

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...
