...humor is as stale as the idea of Peoria as a backwater of national life. The Peoria of 1966 welcomes more foreign visitors than just about any other U.S. city of its size (pop. 133,000), and sends its citizens abroad to range the world. The bartender at the Pere Marquette Hotel routinely makes change for pounds, francs or marks proffered by the growing number of international customers of Peoria's thriving Caterpillar Tractor Co., the U.S.'s single biggest exporter of machinery. Peorians attend the new $1,000,000 arts and science center at 21 times...
...Drama Society hasn't given her a lovely sack. Director Paul Zimet has mixed a wacky fondue of bright costumes, absurd props and hi-grade ham. Masked soldiers rush each other with pink sausages for swords, dashing about like a Polish division of the Keystone Cops. Andrew Weil as Pere Ubu, the fat man who usurps the Polish throne, leads the whole menagerie. He bellows like a bull, whines like a hyena and eats like a pig.

But there come moments in France when political passion and factional rivalry are briefly overshadowed by a sense of history and literature. One such occurred when Andre Malraux, De Gaulle's Minister of Cultural Affairs and leading...
...Prudence Penny, Hyman Goldberg brings to the job more than the collection of old jokes that usually appear as preludes to his recipes. Cooking runs in the family. Goldberg pere taught his wife how to cook while he established a number of eateries in The Bronx and its summertime extension, the Catskills. Son Hyman was bending over hot stoves before he reached his teens, and he has accumulated the most impressive library of cookbooks in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn, where he now lives. "My repertoire is catholic," he says. "I cook in Japanese, Russian, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese...
