...Government should spend billions to create millions of jobs; should refuse to cut taxes on business; and should limit imports. "Free trade," he declared, is "a joke and a myth." But the familiar bravado had a hollow ring, for organized labor is in trouble. Its leadership is out of step with a nation that is increasingly worried about inflation and annoyed over Government controls. Beyond that, labor confronts a U. S.

Therefore, he recommends that every cook have a step-by-step volume like Irma Rombauer and Marion Becker's Joy of Cooking (Bobbs-Merrill; $10.95 hardcover; New American Library; $4.95 paper) or, for the more advanced practitioner, Jacques Pépin's La Technique (Quadrangle; $25).
