After Pontiac and the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, where Cass was born, a safari to Kenya is on the itinerary. One day Joe announced: "I want to see some things I've only seen in books." It's an odd expression for someone who might be expected to be worldly. "He's curious, full of wonderment," says his wife, "not at all worldly." It delights him to have installed the sprinkler system in the horses' shed himself and to have managed a good deal of the carpentry. Life is good...
...scene in the barren Egyptian desert resembled an elegant military safari from the country's British imperial days-until the explosions began. A mixed group of some 300 U.S. and Egyptian army officers and accompanying gold-braided foreign military attachés lounged under black and red cloth tents in the chilly winter air near Wâdi el Natrûn, an oasis about 78 miles northwest of Cairo. Turbaned waiters, wearing flowing, blue-gray robes, or gallabiyas, served coffee, tea and box lunches...
...English-born, Americanized cuisinière has won international fame with her writing and her La Varenne cooking school in Paris. With four colleagues the author traveled more than 6,000 miles and spent a year choosing and testing the 400 recipes in the book.

SCTV Station Manager Edith Prickley, who favors rhinestone-studded glasses and a leopard-skin coat to match her rakish chapeau. has had several programs of her own - a cooking course, a talk show that was a literal conversation stopper and an outdoor safari documentary that never got much farther than the parking lot. None of them has done particularly well, perhaps because Mrs. Prickley has the anxious friendliness of a piece of misfired puffed wheat and a laugh like the lullaby...
