...appreciation of Woody Allen, the grandparents who used a bissel (a little) Yiddish. It was corned beef with mustard on rye, not with mayonaise on white. It was having Sunday brunch more religiously than Shabbat meals. It was seeing everyone we knew at synagogue twice a year, and pretending spare ribs didn't count as pork in the Chinese restaurant. And it was suffering an afternoon a week at Hebrew school...
...giddy escalation in prices is due in part to scarcity, since pre- Revolutionary furniture is as sparse as its spare Yankee lines. The rarest pieces were handcrafted in the port cities of Philadelphia, Newport, Boston, Salem, Mass., and Portsmouth, Va., where rich patrons financed local artisans.

The Air Force began in 1983 to urge its replacement; not being politicians, the generals naturally were inclined to make the President's plane the safest, roomiest and best. This 747 will combine more self-sufficiency, range (7,140 miles), comfort and convenience than any other airplane ever built. It will contain all the latest communications gear, antimissile devices, nuclear-proofing and self-sustaining maintenance machinery that the Secret Service and White House staff wanted. Everybody from the stewards...
