Some lawmakers, including Congressmen Newt Gingrich, Henry Hyde and Vin Weber, responded positively to Sununu's appeal. But the chief of staff's many enemies in Washington saw an opportunity to take revenge. Republican leader Robert Dole, who has seethed since Sununu helped Bush win the 1988 New Hampshire primary by suggesting that Dole was a closet advocate of higher taxes, coldly spurned him. Then Dole twisted the knife by describing Sununu's phone call to a television interviewer. Some White House officials and G.O.P. political strategists were miffed that Sununu was trying to end run the President. Bush himself...

As diet-conscious customers shun butter and cream, top toques at grand-luxe restaurants increasingly use it to give low-cal piquancy to their creations.

Climatic extremes ensure that many of the wines produced in the South and Northeast will never be more than marginal in quality. To make a profit, however, vintners must charge premium prices for what, realistically, is vin ordinaire. But for the Adventurous Oenophile and his ilk, the discovery of a promising little Merlot from North Carolina (try Biltmore's) or a delicate Eiswein from Michigan (taste one from Chateau Grand Traverse) will always be worth the cost...
