In "Refrigerator Roulette," I'd try to figure out which leftovers are still safe to eat. Smell along at home! I can picture a stream of cameos in which I bring celebrity chefs resoundingly down to earth. I'd make Emeril Lagasse do the dishes. (What happens to the ones he dirties so exuberantly in the studio? Does he throw them all away? BAM!) When chef Mario Batali visits--that's "Molto Mario," of Food...

Her novels flowed in a glittery stream from the first, Under the Net, in 1954, to the last, Jackson's Dilemma, in 1995, after which Alzheimer's claimed her. Her graceful descent into the state of unmindedness was chronicled by Bayley in his tender book, Elegy for Iris, which serves as a memorial to her person...
...announcement last week by the Pasadena, Calif., startup Free-PC that it would give away 10,000 Compaq Presarios has brought in more than 750,000 volunteers. What's the catch?
