...survey of some 25 depressed areas in eight states, the task force concluded that despite steady economic growth, 32.4 million people live at or below the federal poverty level ($9,069 for a family of three), and many of them rely regularly on food banks and soup kitchens to supplement their diets. Among the reasons cited for the high level of hunger: restrictions on food-stamp eligibility and the failure to raise the minimum wage...
...Chatterbox, where we stopped in for the usual (mushroom soup and a cheese sandwich), we found a lively moral-literary debate in progress. There was a school of thought, led by Carl Krebsbach, holding it was wrong the way you "build things up." It was perfectly true he had to miss the homecoming parade the time his daughter Carla was elected queen because he was digging up his parents' old septic tank and transporting it to the town dump. But, he said, it was just a . . . well, prevarication to say that hauling his load of "thirty years of family history...
...more avant-garde echo of Sam Shepard -- a border skirmish between knockabout farce and knockdown violence.

...eclectic, subtle cuisine at Claire, most restaurants have menus that stick close to or are adapted from native specialties. Coconut-covered shrimp, plantains, codfish and conch in various guises, and the marinated, then grilled jerk chicken and pork are among coast-to-coast favorites. Along with callaloo (a soup of crab meat, kale and pork) and Jamaican meat patties, the chef at Manhattan's Sugar Reef also dishes up the aptly named but pallid "trendy wrapped fish" (perch cooked in banana leaves). At the Sugar Shack in Los Angeles, Cuban Moors and Christians (black beans and white rice) are offered...
