...harmonious balancing of a menu is perhaps more important to Italian cuisine than to any other this side of China. This can be a twice-a-day exercise, since most Italians still favor the three-course midday repast. Italian Cooking in the Grand Tradition (Dial; $24.95), by Jo Bettoja and Anna Maria Cornetto, addresses itself primarily to seasonal family meals and honors the year's special occasions. The two fare ladies, Bettoja from Millen, Ga., and Cornetto from Rome, are former models who run a celebrated Roman cooking school called Lo Scaldavivande (the covered dish). Jo married into...
...Gallup poll showed the bluff 6-ft. 6-in. Republican Governor leading his mild-mannered opponent, Adlai Stevenson III, by 16 points. But when Thompson went to bed at 2 Wednesday morning, the corners of his smile had turned downward: he was leading by just over 1%.

As the car pulled away, several of the children rushed to the wire fence, pushed their outstretched hands through the loops, and cried plaintively: "Goodbye, Mr. TV. Goodbye...
Some 1 million keyed-up rock fans poach under the midday sun at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. There are 600 police officers at your disposal, but you still face the classic problem of transporting the feature star to center stage without getting him mobbed. If you are Lieut. Colonel James Hackett, 50, of the St. Louis police force, you enlist that myopic master of outrageous disguise from Middlesex, England, Reginald Kenneth Dwight. In standard police clothing and cruiser, Hackett and Dwight then casually drive the 15 blocks to the Gateway Arch. Once backstage, Dwight looks around, then begins...
Reagan started his rounds midday Thursday at an elaborate "working lunch" in the Elysée Palace where Mitterrand was host. The two leaders talked about the Falklands, Central America and the Middle East. Both Presidents agreed that a decisive victory for Iran in its war with Iraq could set off what one French spokesman called an "avalanche" of Muslim fundamentalism threatening the stability of the Persian Gulf region...
