...traditional Indian meal demands a healthy portion of naan--leavened bread baked in a tandoor oven-- to accompany the main course. The Club does not fail. Rogini Naan ($1.95) is lightly buttered and a welcome tonic to a mouthful of some of the spicier entrees.

Most hypertensives are not even aware that they are being stalked by a quiet killer that often produces no symptoms until it is too late. The A.H.A. believes that less than half of all hypertensives know that they have high blood pressure...
