...increase over 1988 levels. A pity. Unlike the sweetish Rhines and Moselles of neighboring Germany, Alsace's crisp Pinot Blancs, spicy Gewurztraminers and luscious Rieslings are flowery in bouquet but normally bone-dry in taste, in short, ideal companions to such summertime staples as shellfish, grilled chicken and pasta salad. (Gewurztraminer has a peculiar affinity for Chinese and Indian dishes.) The hard-to-find 1985 vintage is a great one; so is 1988, now coming to market. Trimbach and Hugel are reliable producers, but no one makes finer Alsatians than the family firm Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, whose powerful, succulent vendange...

But in contrast to some of the solemn ideologues who share her causes, Barbara Ehrenreich is a leftist with levity, so don't get discouraged about the title of this provocative new collection of essays...
...made the professional class, which is inherently insecure, more smug and selfish. Much of her evidence involves incidental, sometimes lighthearted perceptions about how this uneasiness reveals itself. To escape association with a shrinking middle class, yuppies have learned to choose the baby bass en croute over the chef's salad, Italian knit sweaters over flannel shirts, running over basketball and handcrafted cabinets over mass-produced maple...
