...have to do with the quality of their lives." In Atlanta, says Jean Thwaite, food editor of the Constitution, "it's a real challenge and a status symbol to come up with something your company hasn't tasted before, something they don't even know how to pronounce." In Palm Beach, according to Skippy Harwood, food columnist for the Daily News, "there's nothing more chic right now than a small gourmet party prepared by the hostess, instead of her staff...
...Fords' home in Palm Springs, Calif., Betty Ford said she endorsed all the planks approved by the Women's Conference, including the most controversial ones. "I am broad-minded," she said.

Technically, The Trials of Brother Jero is rather simple. The one set, designed by Joan Ferenchak, furnishes a classic example of how to use the Mainstage's variable space to good advantage. The structure is simple--a wooden frame shack, covered with ostensible palm fronds, along with a similarly covered proscenium arch set off by blue backlighting; but when combined with the main acting area, a sand-covered expanse in front of Jero's home/church, the intended effect is achieved. No flashy techniques distinguish the lighting scheme. Another minor criticism can be directed at the music--the same fragment...
