Lucian K. Truscott IV also bears a refulgent military name. His grandfather, who affected pink riding breeches and a scarf of white parachute silk for combat wear, was a World War II general described as a fighter who "out-Pattoned Patton." Author Truscott's father is also a career military man, a West Pointer. Truscott IV, 31, has found a complicated way to deal with the family tradition. He graduated from the Point with a resolutely undistinguished record in 1969, then resigned his commission 13 months later in a row with his superiors. Truscott became a journalist-largely...
Peking's main thoroughfare, Ch'ang An Avenue, was decked out in holiday garb. Strings of red, pink, turquoise and yellow pennants fluttered gaily above the curb-to-curb crush of bicyclists and horn-tooting motorists, and bright red palace lanterns illuminated the Gate of Heavenly Peace. Not only in Peking but in every Chinese city, village and hamlet, the Lunar New Year celebration was under way last week...

Its 200 verdant acres, surrounded by California desert, are reached by way of Frank Sinatra Drive.

On one wall was a mural of ethnic Chinese in native costume. Chairman Mao stood in the middle, fleshy and pink-faced in a gray collarless suit. Significantly, he towered over everyone else in the mural...
...veal, in all its luscious Latin variations, are worth a book unto themselves. It so happens that Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey of the New York Times have produced just such a volume, Veal Cookery (Harper & Row; 229 pages; $10). No meat is more succulent than the creamy pink flesh of milk-fed calf, whether married to crabmeat, crawfish, shrimp, lobster or tuna, or stewed, stuffed, sauced, roasted or grilled, or divided into what some call the ''odd parts." such as brains, sweetbreads and soup bones. Indeed, le petit veau is a centerpiece of all the great cuisines...
