...simplest recipe proved best in the view of a panel of judges that included Actors Ernest Borgnine, William Conrad and McCulloch Oil President C.V. Wood, retired, undefeated world chili champ. Joe DeFrates, 67, of Springfield, Ill., winner of the California cookoff, concocted his "horse-and-buggy" chili from lean beef, peppers and his own chili powder. The Texas champion, Susie Watson of Houston, used a similar recipe, plus an arcane spice derived from pine cones. Even in Texas, none of the chili heads used the "greaseless" Pedernales River recipe favored by Lyndon Johnson. "L.B.J.'s stuff," growled an oldtimer...

Princeton, like Dartmouth, has a long history of winning in the Ivy League. If tradition counts for anything, then count the Tigers in this year...
Dark Edges. Like Cartier-Bresson, Avedon gives us everything he and the lens record, including the dark edges of the film itself. This sharp edge forces the eye inward to the details effaces and nuances of expression. Avedon's pictures are lean, made with soft daylight and bouncelight against a white, seamless background. They are also stark because of the moment that Avedon tries to capture, as in the 1955 picture of a youthful Truman Capote. He reads the eyes of his subjects, waiting for that second when they reveal the facet of character he wants: he allows...
