Several of the more valuable works are devoted to the food of the American South, a region that provides the nation's richest and most colorful local cuisine. The best entry is Southern Food, by John Egerton (Knopf; 408 pages; $24.95). More a social study than a mere cookbook, it includes the history and lore of dishes and Southern manners, a lengthy bibliography and suggested restaurants where travelers can sample typical fare.

Aquino's attempts to run an efficient government and an effective war against the N.P.A. are hampered by a lack of funds. An expected surge in U.S. aid has turned out to be a mere trickle. Because of the Gramm- Rudman budget-balancing law, the State Department has had to scale down its 1988 request for economic and military assistance to the Philippines from $471.8 million in 1987 to $267.3 million.
