...Boston Fish Pier, he explains, fishermen cannot simply raise their prices to pass along increased costs. Nor can Mark Godfried, 49, meet the cost of coverage for his 50-ft. Stella G. After spending more than $20,000 converting the craft from a side trawler to a more efficient stern trawler, he was told that his premiums were rising by 70%. "That just put me on the beach," he said. Godfried bought a port-risk policy, which covers his boat only as long as it remains tied to a dock, and took a job ashore...
Down-home fare is already the subject of several timely cookbooks, including Miss Mary's Down-Home Cooking by Diana Dalsass (New American Library), Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen (Morrow) and Joan Nathan's An American Folklife Cookbook (Schocken). The most impassioned paean to Momma cooking is Jane and Michael Stern's Square Meals (Knopf). In their march down memory lane, the authors celebrate dishes from what many people rightfully consider the Dark Ages of American eating: tuna casseroles sauced with canned mushroom soup, Back-to-Bataan Spam and patently disgusting creations like a cabbage-apple-and-pickle salad with evaporated...
...television viewers know, crime in Miami revolves around the cocaine trade. But the policemen who are supposed to put dopers behind bars are not often like TV's cool, sockless heroes with stern moral codes.

In their entrancing new film, Paolo and Vittorio Taviani have revived a less familiar Pirandello: the compulsive storyteller, spinning tales about his native Sicily, its stern landscape and elemental passions. Kaos dramatizes four of the short fictions Pirandello collected in his 15-volume A Story for Every Day in the Year. Three (The Other Son, The Jar and Requiem) are just fine, anecdotes about longing and power in which the inexplicable nuzzles up against the predictable...
...Critic Dmitri Bashkirov wrote in Sovietskaya Rossiya, "He indisputably remained the brightest bearer of the Russian performing tradition. I think there was not one person in the hall who didn't leave the concert in a happy, elevated mood." After watching on TV back in the U.S., Violinist Isaac Stern reached Horowitz by phone to say he had had tears in his eyes throughout the concert. Horowitz had once more proclaimed himself the greatest of living pianists. By turns elegant, playful, probing, introspective and, finally, heroic, Horowitz had also reaffirmed his lineage as the last romantic, whose artless, effortless, larger...
