...have often wondered just how to butterfly a leg of lamb when, at the last moment, I have had to settle for the whole leg. Eight quick steps, each with its own picture, show how to debone the thing, and then it's an easy, two-step process to lay open the fillet so that it's ready for the grill. For the more adventurous, the book teaches the construction of a crown roast of lamb, which is fashioned from two racks of lamb, bent round and tied. A simple roasting recipe features the typical lamb seasonings of garlic...
...Lay that kind of talk on top of a heavy riff and it could be another slick M.C. Hammer rap, the kind of bouncy, braggadocian tune that repeatedly hooked the top single spot for U Can't Touch This. Hammer, 27, is living a dream: superstardom in a flash; private jet between gigs; movie offers; and a record label, Bust It Management Productions, to call his own.

And last November Catholic bishops approved rites for Sunday worship that can be led by nonordained parish leaders in priestless congregations. To Schoenherr, a former priest, such measures are no more than stopgaps. As he sees it, the chief problem is celibacy. Eventually, he maintains, the church "will have to accept the ordination of married men in order to recruit and retain." But that is not likely to happen any time soon. Although a majority of American Catholics believe that priests ought...
