Though crises and breakneck news are part of a journalist's regular routine, each big story brings a unique quickening, a foretaste of the hard work and challenges ahead. As the biggest Washington story in years broke last week, much of TIME's Washington bureau staff gathered in Bureau Chief Strobe Talbott's office to watch Ronald Reagan announce that funds from Iranian arms sales had been diverted to the contra rebels in Nicaragua. Even as the President spoke, Talbott was on the line to Nation Editor Walter Isaacson, who was watching the disclosures with writers and editors...
...Administration. Begun in 1984 as an off-Broadway lark, the show has been staged in nine cities, including Washington, where it opened in October and has been extended into next year. Trudeau constantly revises, adding for Washington a parody of bargaining with the Soviets for the release of American Journalist Nicholas Daniloff. "I feel passionate about this," says Trudeau. "I want people to think about events during the Reagan years that we tend to forget, to look at this national amnesia of ours.

...incentives to encourage businesses to provide jobs in depressed urban areas. Others feel that it is necessary to create work programs that will draw young blacks away from the inner cities, where the underclass culture makes it extremely difficult to break out of the poverty cycle.

Two cases in point: Linda Merinoff's The Glorious Noodle -- A Culinary Tour Around the World (Poseidon; $16.95) and Margaret Leibenstein's The Edible Mushroom -- A Gourmet Cook's Guide (Fawcett Columbine; $14.95). Merinoff, a journalist and caterer, is obviously beguiled by all things pasta -- Italian, Greek, Hungarian, Israeli, African, Alsatian or Asian. Her work brims with tempting dumplings, noodles in mild and spicy sauces, one-dish soups and stews bolstered with some form of wheat-, bean- or rice-flour noodles. Lore is easygoing, and recipes...
...imagine, therefore, all 180 degrees of love triangles--hate triangles, too--which pierce the already dismal dramatic situation. Garcin, a cowardly journalist who neglected his wife, finds himself attracted to Inez, who was a mail-clerk and a lesbian. Unfortunately for Garcin, the dead Inez has retained her latter tendencies. Misanthrope that she is, Inez, in turn, finds herself attracted to the baby-killer Estelle, a vacuous, fallen debutante who wishes Hell had mirrors. And, completing the triangle, poor little rich Estelle would just love to jump in the sack with Garcin...
