It told beginning or uncertain cooks how to, among everything else, set a table, fillet a fish and turn a squirrel carcass into something edible. The 1975 Joy, the edition that the new book will supplant, has still been selling about 100,00 copies a year...

My generation of women did change the world; however, those of us who succeeded placed ourselves out front and on the line. If Hillary wants a legacy, she should take risks: stake out a position of power for which there is responsibility and accountability. She should not hide behind policy and nice ideas that she can retreat from when things turn sour...
