...findings of Malkin Professor of Public Policy Robert Putnam and his famous warning about the disappearance of American civil society. Part leadership how-to and part sociological study, “Applebee’s America” may have tried to take too large a bite of analytical pie. The authors certainly drive home their points with statistical and anecdotal data spanning the fields of politics, business, and spirituality, but their findings are difficult to remember after an additional 100 pages on the past, present, and future of all of American society. “Applebee?...
...chic sense of style; the socialite, the enviable lite fluent in the latest must-have culture; and the visionary, an original and unprecedented trendsetter with inspirational expressions of fashion.

...sympathy last week began: "The best lunch/dinner/day I ever had ?"-but his taste buds were not ?litist. Little grunts and moans of pleasure would emerge from the kitchen, where he was devouring a sausage sandwich, tomato sauce dripping down his shirt. He would drive me into Cessnock to the pie shop and home through the vineyards, every paddock and building inspiring a pastry-flecked lesson in Hunter history. With silent precision we'd stop at his gate to inspect each other's clothes for telltale crumbs. We were never caught...
