Like everything else at Harvard, Cardullo's has a field of concentration, food, and it covers its field better than the Peabody Museum covers anthropology. If you are under the impression that food exists solely to fill that hole behind your navel, Cardullo's little tin cans and fastidious window displays will only annoy you. If, however, you think that food, even the sight of it, is one of life's more exquisite pleasures a visit might be worth your while...
...doomed to military failure or, at best, a very limited guerrilla success. Meanwhile, by severing trade relations with Malaysia, Sukarno has invited economic failure. More than half of Indonesia's rubber, which supplies 50 per cent of the nation's foreign exchange income, was formerly processed at Singapore. Indonesian tin will have to be refined in Europe, instead of Penang. And Indonesia's refined oil products, over 60 per cent of which went to Malaya and Singapore in the first half of 1963, will have to find new markets.

Wolfe, were he alive, might well say the same of Minority Report. Not only does Rice exhibit an astonishingly tin ear for dialogue; his autobiographical e frequently reads like a parody of all the memoirs ever written. "We had what is now known as a cookout, with Mrs. Roosevelt, in a bungalow apron toasting the frankfurters over a charcoal grill. When her son Elliott shouted 'Hey, Ma, we're all out of beer!' she replied sharply, 'You know there's always enough beer! Just look around for it!' It was a domestic scene that...
