...Wall Street nabob and a man of many reactionary convictions, yet he swallowed Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal whole. Later, as U.S. Ambassador to Britain on the eve of war, he broke emphatically with Roosevelt on the issue of U.S. involvement in World War II. In the salad days of the New Deal, Jack grew up, absorbing his father's ambiguous politics, listening to the famous men and women who gathered around the Kennedy dinner table, reading prodigiously on his own. Unlike many of his generation (Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon, for example), he was untouched...

The last time I dined there, she sat in a fruit salad.' 'Perhaps she'll do it again if we hurry.' Michael gripped her firmly by the arm. 'Come along.'" Most readers will come along happily enough...

Last week it won a satisfying victory: a consent decree and damages of $1,250 from San Francisco's famed Trader Vic restaurant for putting Danish blue cheese into Roquefort dressing. "Trader Vic's can afford it," explains the association...
...Aparajito (The Unvanquished), tells how he lost his father and left his mother in order to make himself a modern man. Part 3, called Apur Sansar (The World of Apu), begins with a slyly humorous description of how the young man (Soumitra Chatterjee) spends his can't-afford-salad days of bohemian genius in Calcutta's slums. Suddenly one day a college friend carts him off to a country wedding that has an unexpected and fateful conclusion. The bridegroom proves to be insane, and in order to save the bride (Sarmila Tagore*) from the curse that will fall...
