Dolores Hart, an actress whose round face seems to have been cut from moist white bread, contributes to this weirdly unanimous good will as St. Clare, founder of the women's branch of the Franciscan order.

Early in May, a high-pressure ridge formed over the Rocky Mountains in the U.S. and Canada. Since air circulates clockwise around a high-pressure area, the ridge brought dry air streaming down from northern Canada. In a normal year the ridge would have shifted gradually eastward, allowing warm, moist air to flow northwest from the Gulf of Mexico and bring normal rain to the high plains.

Bui's fabulous sauces, prepared from top-secret recipes, are his spécialit...
