Exotic Menu. The ordeal over, Elizabeth and Philip recessed for lunch along the Narayani River. The exotic menu: black partridge, florican crane, wild boar shashlik, shredded venison curry. Then they went after bigger game: a female rhinoceros, spotted plodding through the jungle, calf in tow. Prized by poachers (who grind the horns into a powder that is valued as an alleged aphrodisiac), the one-horned rhino has almost disappeared from Nepal. But Marksman Home was not to be denied. With the help again of Bonham Carter and Adeane, he quickly dispatched the lumbering beast, left its calf to fend...
...universities on a 966-acre main campus beside the Mississippi River between Minneapolis and St. Paul. The campus is an architectural hodgepodge dominated by a football arena seating 65,000. Drawing heavily on the state's population hub, it has 23 parking lots for 7,000 cars. Like lunch-bound auto workers, khaki-clad boys and white-sneakered girls spew out of classrooms to the clang of bells at 20 minutes past every hour, and since 1949 the sidewalks have been widened by four feet to keep people from butting each other into the shrubbery...

...indignant sermons, sarcasms and ultimatums, Mom's discombobulated personality and absorption with food. Lou Jacobi can be humanly amusing as Pop, Warren Berlinger cornily amusing as little brother suddenly outdoing big one. But the play's three acts are like having much the same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner; and there is one of those final 30 seconds in which Playboy embraces both work and wedlock and Pop embraces Playboy. Playwright Simon will be more worth thinking about when he spurns a last-minute eraser and uses a blue pencil throughout...
...Cover) In elegant apartment 42-A of Manhattan's Waldorf Towers, servants were busy setting the long, polished table. U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson was expecting Soviet Delegate Valerian Zorin and ten of his aides for lunch. There would be good food, good wines, and, hopefully, over the coffee and cigars, some quiet, profitable talk. But suddenly a Soviet courier appeared with a scribbled, abrupt message. The lunch was off, apologized Zorin, due to the press of unexpected business...
