...reply, an underground Solidarity group in Silesia published a sort of manual of passive protest. Samples: "In organizing strikes, do not elect leaders, so as to avoid later police action. Work slowly, complain about the mess and the inefficiency of your superiors. Flood the army and the commissars with questions and pretend to be a halfwit. Follow meticulously the most ridiculous instructions." Every worker, it concluded, should remember these words: "I know only what I need to know." Nobody outside Poland knows to what extent these opposition efforts are succeeding, but even the government admitted last week that production...
More than 300 years ago, Racine wrote I that a province of southern France could support 20 caterers, while a bookseller would starve to death. Today the ratio is probably reversed, if only because, grâce à dieu, cookbooks have largely replaced caterers. More than a gastronomic manual or a compilation of recipes, a well-made cookbook blends strands of history, geography and philosophy with dollops of legend and even a dash of the unsavory. This is particularly true of regional cookbooks, which have come into their own in recent years as increasingly sophisticated home chefs look beyond...
...receive an at-large bid to the Nationals. Cortland defeated UMass, which received a bid, at the Easterns. According to tournament committee chairman and Colorado College coach Steve Paul, Cortland simply failed to request a bid, a procedure it should have known about from the AIAW Soccer Coaches Manual.

Because a three-member AIAW Appeals Board rejected...
...Brooklyn School District 23, traditionally the lowest-achieving of all New York City districts in reading, a prickly Follow Through class is doing well. Eight children sit in a reading group in Sadie Martin's first-grade classroom. Martin holds up a manual with words printed in DlSTAR's script. Silent letters are written smaller than the rest. Consonant clusters, like wh, are joined together to indicate that they should be pronounced together. At Martin's signal, the group choruses the sound and then puts the word together phonetically...
...Black Liberation Army, a recently resurgent '70s group dedicated to the killing of police officers. The license plate on the abandoned Oldsmobile, for example, led to an apartment in East Orange, N. J. There a six-hour search turned up a cache of weapons and explosives, a manual on making bombs and hand-drawn floor plans of six New York City police stations. In a Bronx apartment, state and federal investigators found a similar arsenal and diagrams, plus a newspaper dated one day after the robbery-indicating that someone had been there since the shootout. Both apartments were vacant...
