...Super Clark (Christopher Reeve) as a gently bumbling Fred MacMurray type and his inamorata Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) as a hip career woman in the Rosalind Russell mold. Superman III expands on the humor and enriches the pathos by phasing out Lois and introducing a new love interest: Lana Lang (Annette O'Toole), the girl Clark left behind in Smallville. Lana respects Superman but carries a torch for Clark. And the man in question has trouble figuring out which one he is. Soon enough, he will have a more serious conflict to worry about: whether he is the ultimate...
...Mesick and other Midwestern towns, people simply dip them in flour or cracker crumbs and fry them. Many restaurants, like Manhattan's Four Seasons and Le Français, in Wheeling, Ill., use them as garnishes for meat and game or in a cream sauce. Owner-Author George Lang of Manhattan's Cafe des Artistes insists on serving them as a separate course sauteed in olive oil or butter: "They are too precious to use as a vegetable...

Under her sway, the 19th century Frenchman Denis Vrain-Lucas fabricated more than 27,000 documents purportedly from the hands of Archimedes, Sappho, Judas Iscariot, Caesar, Charlemagne and others, overplaying his own hand only when he forged a letter in which Pascal took credit for discovering the law of gravity, rather than Newton.

Heidemann was unavailable to explain the apparent discrepancy; he has declined all requests for interviews. Most troubling to fellow journalists, Heidemann refused to disclose his sources, even on a confidential basis, to his editors at Stem. But Editor Koch professed to have no worries. Said he: "We have every reason to trust...
...longstanding interest in regionalism fills his new work. "Culture," he notes, "now divides France instead of unifying it." Having passed through nationalist and internationalist phases. France is presently in a pluralist stage whereby culture "is a battle for the right to live freely," he says, quoting minister Jack Lang. This notion underlies much of Zeldin's analysis of social mores as well. Defining a French national culture is "an unattainable goal." Styles of life "are ceasing to be homogeneous." There is "French taste, and French good taste." Contrary to previous stereotypes. "There is no established French attitude toward love...
