Most of Congress had something to say about the downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007, but in the state of Washington, Senator Henry ("Scoop") Jackson's reactions had a double resonance: his constituents at the Boeing Co. built the 747 airliner, and during his 42 years on Capitol Hill, he had been more profoundly and articulately wary of the Soviet Union than any other national Democrat.

As its ungainly name suggests, it has a powdered soy base, no lactose, butterfat or cholesterol, and contains only 128 calories per 4-oz. scoop, vs. as much as 325 for a premium dairy ice cream and 280 for gelato. A sellout among celebs and fast-trackers from Manhattan to Honolulu, this noncream ice cream, which comes in five flavors, actually tastes good. Best of the batch: banana pecan...
