...dishes of spice-blackened redfish, jalapeņo cheese bread, flounder stuffed with seafood, and crawfish "popcorn" have inspired a virtual cult of imitators such as the Ritz Cafe in West Los Angeles, a branch of which will open on Park Avenue in New York this fall, the Atchafalaya River Cafe in Houston, Memphis in New York and Lafitte in Washington. "The food we call Creole and Cajun is the most American of American food because it was absolutely created here," says Prudhomme. "You can't find it anywhere else in the world." To make sure the outside world gets...
Yonkers (pop. 191,000), an industrial suburb just north of New York City, is a place divided.

At least he will not sell our interests down the river as Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman did when they dealt with the Soviet Union at Yalta and Potsdam. Gail Funaro Cerritos, Calif...
...even taken a page from civil rights struggles elsewhere by promoting a living symbol for the anti-dam movement. Ge Quanxiao, a farmer from the Jinsha River area, stands to lose his home to a planned dam. Yu arranged elocution lessons for Ge and taught him to protect himself by invoking political slogans introduced by China's leader, Hu Jintao. He brought Ge to Beijing to address a United Nations Development Program conference on dams and plead for villagers' right to review settlement plans. Most of all, Yu armed Ge with information to take back to his fellow villagers...
