...tough current junta boss, General Augusto Pinochet Uguarte, was assassinated by a bomb in his car in Buenos Aires. In October 1975, Christian Democratic Leader Bernardo Leighton, who irritated the regime by calling, as Letelier had, for a united opposition against it, was wounded by gunmen in Rome...
Southerners quite possibly devote more time to the preparation and consumption of breakfast, lunch and dinner than any other society since Augustan Rome. Drawing from the world's most abundant living larder, from the fish and flesh, fruit, root and leaf on their doorsteps and jetties, they have codified a cuisine that, for variety and piquancy, ranks with anything served in Florence or Provence.

Actually the scene was not the old Les Halles in Paris or the Campo dei Fiori in Rome, but the Quincy Market, a huge, copper-domed structure in Boston, just a cod's throw from the famous old Haymarket. Last week the once-dilapidated Quincy Market reopened after a massive renovation to serve its original purpose: a central market for city dwellers. "It's not just lively...
