Actor James Coco, an accomplished home chef, maintains: 'The act of cooking is like the act of making love. You have to pamper the food; you must have tender feelings for it; you must have the right touch to turn it into a beautiful thing." The 250-Ib. sybarite, who learned how to make ravioli from Sophia Loren while shooting Man of La Mancha in Rome five years ago, adds ?with a touch of sage: "For me, cooking and eating ease all pain.

The script, by Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond, is sophisticated and funny; and although it deals with suicide, adultery, and the impersonality of the modern-day corporation, the film is remarkably cheerful...
...billion in cash and securities that it got from the sale of Peabody Coal last June; others had hoped that the cash-rich but troubled copper company, which lost $22 million in the last quarter, would itself become the target of a takeover attempt involving a generous tender offer...
