What is Stanish's secret for the perfect omelet? Simplicity itself, says he. The eggs should be at room temperature, and they should be beaten lightly or the omelet will toughen. Don't allow the butter to brown, use at most just a pinch of salt, and be sure the pan is hot. Cook for precisely 15 seconds, stirring briskly in a circular motion with the side of a fork. Except for dessert omelets, he adds one special ingredient: Tabasco sauce. The later the night and the more the drinking, says Stanish, the more Tabasco...
...flashing red lights that summon him to the White House. But the shared anxieties of state soon give him a case of galloping paranoia, and as the President's analyst comes unglued, the movie swings off on a broad, bawdy, satirical spoof of such U.S. cult objects as secret-agentry, hippiedom, and the supposedly happy New Jersey household where Dad has his "car gun" and his "house gun," Mom takes karate lessons, and Sonny taps the family phone with his Junior...

He even met the great art expert Bernard Berenson, a Jew and a U.S. citizen, at the villa where friends hid the old man for 13 months. For keeping that one secret alone, Wolf could have wound up in a concentration camp. But he went much further. He collaborated with the Florentines in hiding paintings and sculpture, and worked desperately through the church and the German ambassador to keep the city from becoming a military objective, although the battle eventually did reach...
