...nearby Evanston, Ill., Leslee Reis at her enchanting Cafe Provencal underlines sauteed foie gras with mango puree and cushions roast pheasant on mushroom ravioli. The menu at Lydia Shire's Boston restaurant, Biba, which is due to open this month, will feature dishes as stylistically diverse as Thai green-curry lobster soup, salad of rock crab and sashimi, and lambs' tongues with fava beans and cilantro. Even in New Orleans, where locals still favor their own Creole-Cajun kitchen, Susan Spicer, of the Bistro at Maison de Ville, has won converts with her Provencal improvisations...
...That's how things have always been done in Ellsworth, one neighbor counting on another. Ellsworth is the shire town of Hancock County, some two-thirds up the Maine coast, and gateway to the summer resorts of Bar Harbor.

Los Angeles Designer Peter Shire's ironing-board-shaped table, Brazil, is finished in sea green, pink and yellow lacquer. It could serve as an animated cartoon prop, the perfect background for Tom and Jerry. Memphis Founder Ettore Sottsass Jr. has gone further. His Park Lane'coffee table is strictly from Oz: a giant black marble aspirin resting on delicate emerald green feet...
...David Shire, 46, composer of the new Broadway musical about having children, Baby: "You can sort of be married, you can sort of be divorced, you can sort of be living together, but you can't sort of have a baby. It's a simple primary decision. Do you have it or do you not? And in answering that question, you have to define your relationship...
