...could define "done" as taking 2¼ hours. In 1931, when her children left home to get married, they took with them a compendium of mother's recipes which so dazzled her friends that they urged her to publish it privately. The experienced cooks received it with respect, and the beginners, to whom "basting" was something done with a needle and thread, were pathetically grateful. Bobbs-Merrill, equally impressed, brought it out publicly four years later. Since then, The Joy of Cooking has sold more than 6,000,000 copies to become the second largest-selling cookbook...
...great painters of the Renaissance looked upon drawings with particular affection; they exchanged them with fellow artists as a mark of respect. Their students pored over them for clues to their secrets, for almost nothing else told so much about how they built up their compositions or what sort of scene or gesture would catch their eye and cry out for immediate recording. But they were not only blueprints; they were often masterpieces in themselves.

Iannello loudly proclaims his innocence. "As a legislator for the past twelve years," he says, "I have the fullest respect for our law and its administration." Indeed, he merely indulged in a common Massachusetts occupation: misusing state construction funds. In 1961, the Metropolitan District Commission awarded a sidewalk repair contract to the B & M Construction Co., an imaginary firm owned by Iannello's wife, daughter and son-in-law. Iannello, acting for the firm, signed all proposals and vouchers connected with the project. On receiving these documents, the State handed...
