...Chang; $30), edited by Jules Bond, features recipes from the stars of the great opera house. At first glance, it would seem a gimmicky celebrity come-on, short on substance. Not so. Opera folk tend to love food, and since they hail from so many countries, the collection is rich and varied. Like many Met productions, the book is visually gorgeous; in fact, it is too pretty to cook by. It would be nice to have a recipes-only version for the kitchen. With luck it would still include Sherill Milne's Hungarian goulash soup, Regina Resnik's cold stuffed...

At the same time, she has made it clear that there will be no witch- hunts in the army if she is elected. Bhutto promises to maintain good relations with the U.S. and says she will uphold Pakistan's pledge to aid the mujahedin rebels in Afghanistan. Alliance candidates, for their part, intend...
...bachelor, Kohl, 53, spent $5 million of his own money to defeat Susan Engeleiter, 36, the Republican leader in the state senate. When Proxmire won re-election in 1982, he spent just $145. Yet, like Proxmire, Kohl refused contributions from special-interest groups and ran a populist, soak- the-rich campaign, calling for tax hikes for the wealthy. His affluence, he contended, meant that he would be "nobody's Senator but yours...
