...ROMAGNOLIS' TABLE. PBS, Sundays 7:00 p.m. E.D.T. For the viewer-cook inclined to split piselli, it must be said that Pa and Ma (Italian-born Franco and Irish-English Margaret) Romagnoli are a bit offhand. He says add a cup of vinegar, but what he does is slosh a slug of it into a wineglass, eye it with a shrug, and toss it in. A few Romagnoli dishes - hot Swiss chard with olive oil, spareribs and sausages mired in thick sauce - are the sort of thing only an Italian mama could love. But these are piffling objections.

Liquor Store Operator Joseph Schoen expressed a widespread fear: "I can't call for help." To deal with emergencies, the telephone company brought in mobile units and quickly restored service to the three hospitals, ten fire houses and two police precinct stations in the zone of silence.

Asked another letter: "Can Percy and others be bought by petrodollars?" Jewish leaders demanded that Percy return to Chicago and explain himself...
...secrets of; he won't tell us about them, apparently, but at least he's back on the job. Maybe he's right to hold back--too many words now would make Dylan sound like a Bruce Springsteen imitation: if he wrote things like "It's Alright Ma" now they might sound like self-parody. He learned about tight lipped objectivity from country music, and if he can pull out of its constricting sentimentality and oversimplification without giving up its lack of pretention, the detour from John Wesely Harding on will have been worth it. "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack...
