Fulminations from radical Arabs were to be expected. Far more troublesome and discouraging is a sour mood in Saudi Arabia itself. Officially, the desert monarchy showered Reagan with praise for his staunch battle on behalf of the AWACS. But TIME editors on a news tour of the Persian Gulf region with U.S. businessmen heard a different line from Saudi officials, beginning with Prince Abdullah ibn Abdul Aziz, No. 3 in the Saudi hierarchy. "I personally am hoping for the failure of the vote today," he said only hours before the Senate roll call. "That would be an eye-opener...
...their last look at Leahy's New England village, set behind a large pond. Others crane at the 40-ft.-tall plastic man or gaze fondly over the fairground. Some vendors wear black armbands, but it is a futile gesture of mourning. Buying their last baked potato with sour cream and bacon, taking their last aim at ducks in the gallery shoot, or sizing up a young heifer, most visitors seem oblivious or indifferent to the fact that they are among the last to attend the Great Danbury State Fair...

"I went on the radio," Helms says, "telling folks that supporters ought to go out to his house and encourage...
...Waring Ice Cream Parlor. It used to be such a hassle to chop up the ice and to find the coarse salt, but now you can use plain ice cubes and table salt, and it only takes 20 or 30 min. to freeze. I have a very nice sour cream recipe that features whole eggs, sugar, vanilla, and sour cream in place of fresh cream. I also do a fresh fruit sherbet. When Bartlett pears are in season, they have the best flavor. Fresh strawberries and raspberries are easy to do because you just have to sieve them and beat...
