...Angeles suburbs to his Sculpture Gardens restaurant in a decidedly unfashionable section of nearby Venice? His solution: invite diners to name their own price. Rowitch mailed 3,000 promotional flyers to households with incomes of at least $50,000, promising customers that they could enjoy such delicacies as rabbit in Cabernet sauce, New Zealand cockles in white wine or black spaghettini in roasted red pepper -- and pay whatever they thought the food was worth...
...example of a warm Calgarian, a grandmother named Jean Newsted, came scurrying along with a loom in one hand and a nervous-looking rabbit in the other. Just then the Soviet silver-medal ice-dancing team of Sergei Ponomarenko and Marina Klimova materialized by the happiest chance.

Wily farceur, dynamite showman, he made 126 pictures before retiring in 1968. For years he could be seen only...
Even Bugs Bunny has to hop aside when Brer Rabbit comes by. The big-eared varmint has been a folk hero since early slave days, and his sly outwitting of bullies and bosses is history disguised in fur and interpreted by the victims. Jump Again! (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich; $14.95) demonstrates that a classic offers something fresh to each generation. This time it is Van Dyke Parks' riotous retelling and Barry Moser's elegant watercolors. Beneath the new surface, of course, the hero is instantly familiar, once again outmaneuvering Brer Fox, Weasel and Bear, winning the paw of Miss Molly...
