...recent cookbook publishing, but Paul Prudhomme's blackened everything has overshadowed the basics such as red beans and rice and pralines. Justin Wilson, who has a Cajun-cooking show on PBS, has remedied that with his humorous tome, Homegrown Louisiana Cookin' (Macmillan; $19.95). Biscuits, Spoonbread, and Sweet Potato Pie by Bill Neal (Knopf; $19.95) serves the same purpose for Southern baking. It is comprehensive and sparingly illustrated...
...White House, in which the affairs of government are seen through the eyes of mice, bugs and other critters roaming around the place. A cartoon, of all things. Network executives, Bochco recalls, greeted his suggestion with all the warmth that Sylvester used to display toward Tweety Pie. "They said, 'What, are you crazy? Take...

In the country's first-ever free election last March, people acted not only on the principle of one man, one vote, but also for one mark, one mark. Last Sunday, when...
...Lynch delivered. Wild at Heart is splendidly grotesque and mammothly entertaining -- the director's first for-sure comedy, Blue Velvet for laughs. The plot, from Barry Gifford's noirish novel, is your standard slice of poisoned American pie: a pair of loser-friendly lovers, Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) and Lula Pace Fortune (Laura Dern), hit the road to escape Lula's mom and a phalanx of psychos who vividly illustrate Lula's contention that the "whole world's wild at heart and weird on top." But the picture is charged with so much deranged energy, so many bravura images, that...
