...celebrate the signing of the peace treaty, the White House was planning to give the largest state dinner in its history. Some 1,300 guests were to enjoy a variety of wines and a roast beef entrée as they sat under red-and-yellow-striped tents pitched on the south lawn. A staff of 260 cooks and waiters was assembled to serve the 130 round tables, covered with yellow, green and white cloths, and decorated with hurricane lamps and forsythia branches. The diners, including congressional leaders, prominent Americans of both Jewish and Arab ancestry, and members...
Just before 9 a.m., a dusty yellow bus pulls up to a corner in midtown Manhattan and lets out a dozen black-coated, bearded Hasidic Jews from Brooklyn. Others, similarly dressed, come pouring out of the subway entrance. Swiftly, the narrow, dirty street begins its daily transformation. Pale hands splay rainbows of gems across velvet cloths in store windows, magically making each an entrance to Ali Baba's cave. This is West 47th Street, a tiny world of its own that handles about half of the diamonds entering the U.S. Here brokers play middleman between American buyers...
...citizenry was concerned. March 15th was fast approaching, and no buzzard had come to call. On the appointed day, 30 members of the Buzzard Club who had traveled from St. Louis to celebrate the event anxiously scanned the skies. They were well fortified against the cold and wore yellow cardboard beaks on their faces. Suddenly Park Ranger Bud Burger, peering through high-powered binoculars, spotted a distinctive shape soaring high over a snow-covered field. Moments later, a buzzard glided to a perch in a tall tree about a mile away. There was jubilation among the onlookers. If the buzzards...
Pidgin for a mouth-watering dish is brok'd'moutt (it breaks the mouth). While Hawaiian cuisine may never break Michelin's mouth, Maui offers some distinctive delicacies: ophis (yellow limpets) eaten raw, chicken stewed in coconut milk, kuolo (coconut and sweet-potato pudding) and macadamia-nut pie, aloha cousin to Southern pecan pie; also, almost all the island's fish, notably mahimahi (dolphin), ahi (tuna), ono (wahoo), opakapaka (pink snapper), akule (mackerel) and aquaculturally raised catfish, all of which are often served in a papillote of ti leaves; and all the tropical fruits like papaya...
...GREATER PROBLEM with Kugelmass stems from the fact that it simply does not belong with the Shaffer plays. Including it not only makes the evening too long (more than three hours), but also emphasizes the play's own inferiority. Kugelmass appears even more withered and yellow when juxtaposed with the other, better shows. Therefore, unless Kugelmass can be sparked with the same humor, vitality and depth as the Shaffer plays, perhaps it would be best left to succumb to another of biology's theories--survival of the fittest. Ear and Eye are excellent, even with some marginal performances, and deserve...
