...meal consisting of peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich, all the milk you can drink and half a dozen Toll House cookies. Notes Green: "To be really authentic we even have Marshmallow Fluff for those who want it." Similarly, there is a Southwest-Mexican down-home culinary representation at the slick, glittering Fog City Diner in San Francisco. At America, the 200 choices on the menu represent just about every ethnic and regional style that is currently fashionable. In truth, most dishes at the theatrical America can best be regarded as stage props...
...more rascal than scoundrel, as personified by boyish Coach Barry Switzer, 48, who might answer to Barry Spritzer. "I'm getting too old to have a good time," he worried. "I didn't make All-Hospitality Room this year." As mussed and professorial as Paterno looks, that's how slick and worldly Switzer appears. His teams are frequently referred to as "loose," a code word for undisciplined. Paterno has accomplished one of the rarest feats in sports: replacing a legendary coach, Rip Engle (whom he served as an assistant for 16 years), and becoming a larger legend. Switzer, after...

Calcutta! is an anaphrodisiac," declared TIME's T.E. Kalem...

Groups ranging from the New York Road Runners Club (which organizes that city's marathon) to Boy Scout troops have signed up to help with the logistics. Kits have been sent to more than 8,000 schools. Some 340 paid staffers are already in towns along the way and are working with 40,000 volunteers who have signed up to be marshals...
...this snazzy complex, which opened in April next to the Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Shinagawa, one of Tokyo's prime business districts. Described as "entertainment for adults" by spokesman Naoto Takahashi, the theme park boasts facilities designed to lure grownups from their usual happy-hour haunts, featuring a slick restaurant and caf?-bar, concert hall (U.S. surfer turned songwriter Jack Johnson recently performed) and, of course, an aquarium?one of the largest in the Japanese capital. Unlike traditional aquariums, this one doesn't attempt to impart knowledge: there are no signboards listing the scientific names of the 20,000 fish...
