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...
...next morning, as soon as the American delegation arrived at the Soviet mission for Wednesday's round of talks, Reagan once again asked his host if he would like to have a private chat.

After closing for nine months, the museum reopened this summer with tighter security and a stirring new exhibit of works by the tormented Norwegian...
CURTIS Well, we're all limited in what we can do. You don't ask Bono to write an opera on the subject of something political, and as I was trying to address a passion of mine, it seemed apt that I should do it in the kind of way that I'd written films before. If I'd tried to write a serious political drama, I wouldn't have known where to begin. So I tried to write about politics from the point of view of a normal person...
