...Galatoire's. The only legendary restaurant in the French Quarter that lives up to its billing. (Arnaud's, Brennan's and Antoine's, with their dreary, badly prepared food, need not apply, and Paul Prudhomme's newer legend, K-Paul's, is a hassle and uneven.) Galatoire's is a turn-of-the- century set piece with white woodwork, beveled mirrors and brass coat hooks. Waiters are crisply professional; they even chop ice from huge blocks so drinks stay cold and undiluted. The overwhelming attraction is the lush Creole seafood: shrimp remoulade with its brassy mustard and paprika-zapped sauce...

Democratic National Chairman Paul Kirk had created the opening. Kirk decided that a crafty way to debunk the charge that Democrats promise everything to everyone was to shrink the normally gargantuan party platform to a brief statement of principles. That seemed logical enough, but the ploy reinforced the claim by George Bush that Michael Dukakis is a "Stealth candidate" who ducks specific positions. So when Republican drafters went to work, they produced a 30,000-word monster, nearly ten times the size of its Democratic counterpart...

Andover stood grimly in loco parentis during Bush's time there. In fact, it was even less yielding than his parents in insistence upon duty. Founded on Andover Hill during the American Revolution, the Phillips Academy had its seal designed by Paul Revere. Its self-importance comes across nicely in an editorial written during Bush's senior year (1942), when the country was at war. "President Roosevelt's speech to the nation last night was not, by any means, directed solely at Andover, but it cannot be denied that many of the things that he said are of utmost importance...

Many economists share the Fed's view that inflationary pressures are building. Paul Getman, director of financial services at the WEFA Group, an economic-consulting firm based in Bala-Cynwyd, Pa., predicts that within the next six months consumer prices will rise by as much as a 6% annual rate, compared with last year's 4.4%. But others voice concern that the hike in the discount rate could damage the economy. Democratic Senator James Sasser of Tennessee is concerned that higher interest rates could strengthen the dollar and widen the trade deficit. A rising dollar tends to make U.S. exports...

...government named Domenico Sica, 55, a fierce Roman prosecutor hailed as "superman" by Italian newspapers, to be high commissioner in the fight against the Mafia. In the past two decades, Sica has directed investigations into some of Italy's toughest cases, including the ; attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II and the kidnaping-murder of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro. Sica immediately flew off to Palermo, for a firsthand look at La Piovra, or the octopus, as the mob is known throughout Italy...
