...longer quite true, as the old saw had it, that the English have only three vegetables, two of them cabbage. However, English-born Jane Garmey roams far and wide to bag the better culinary hand-me-downs. Though a number of great Continental chefs left their imprint on upper-class English fare-Carême, Escoffier, Francatelli and Soyer all lived for years in London-the good things today come almost entirely from peasantry and province. A well-made Lancashire hot pot, a deep casserole of lamb chops and kidneys, ranks with a French pot-au-feu. Even shepherd...

"You don't have the Cambridge citizens born and raised here anymore," he laments. You also don't have the infrastructure-perfect for his brand of politics--they created. St. Paul's, a block from Quincy House, had 1200 students in Sullivan's schooldays, and there were other Catholic schools in every parish of the city. And you don't have nearly...
