...just gild the lily. Presentation of food, not descriptive phrases, is what is necessary." Nonetheless, beware the chef's signature. A restaurant in New York's Greenwich Village offers Spaghetti Alfredo, which turns out to have nothing to do with the restaurant of the same name in Rome. In stead, as the menu footnotes, it is "Spaghetti-Freddy style." Gallatin Powers, owner of Gallatin's restaurant in Monterey, Calif:, explains the genesis of the chicken, orange juice, and ginger concoction he calls Poulet Albert simply: "I have a son named Albert...
...over the nation, students left high schools and universities to march alongside the workers and shout their own protests against an antiquated and inadequate education system. In Rome and Bologna, students occupied the universities to drive home their point. Next came the turn of state employees to demand more pay and social benefits. For 24 hours, trains halted, mail distribution stopped, schools were deserted and telephone service snarled.

Hairdos, fashions and morals reached undreamed-of heights, lengths and depths. Theaters, operas and court ballets were packed the year round, while gentlefolk staged amateur theatricals by the score in their chateaux and country houses. Costume balls, hunts, public spectacles and private liaisons dangereuses were the order...
...long shot pays astonishing dividends. In Rome, Lakota is named a cardinal, and then, against his will, chosen Pope at a deadlocked consistory of the sacred college. Imprisoned anew, this time in an office that removes him from his fellow man, Pope Kiril walks incognito in the streets of the city. In the space of an hour, he proves that he is still a regular guy by hobnobbing with the ragazzi of Rome, exhibits his ecumenism by reciting the Shema Yisrael in the house of a dying Jew, and outdoes Dear Abby by cementing a broken marriage. His ex-cathedra...
