...sort of reverse adoption, each kid claims a fireman as his or her own. Some gravitate to Albert Shaw, who drives the truck and teaches chess at the kitchen table. Others crowd around Steve ("the Preacher") Ellerson, who gives haircuts and lectures on good grades. Andre Raiford, built like an oaken door, drills the children on multiplication tables. Each fireman imparts lessons in some area and helps enforce a strict behavior code. Swearing and drug dealing are prohibited. Faces must be clean, hair combed, hands washed. "All these kids know is what they see around the projects," says Lewis...
Caitlin and Samuel Dowe-Sandes live in New York City's once infamous Hell's Kitchen, just north and west of Times Square, but their tiny one-bedroom apartment is more like a jewel box than a jail. Antique furniture and Persian rugs are complemented by original art on the walls. A vintage yellow icebox opens to reveal liqueurs, whiskeys and port glasses. On top sits the couple's decanter collection. This one is Danish, 1890s; these two are French, 1920s. Duke Ellington's jazz floats from the bedroom, and Sam's latest purchase, a gold jacquard smoking jacket, hangs...
During that period, through six revisions, the Joy of Cooking became the most authoritative and influential guide to the evolving sociology of U.S. kitchens. If how people prepare and consume food reveals anything valuable about their culture--and surely it does--then the dog-eared, gravy-stained pages of the old Joys are an invaluable resource for future historians.

Bearded and amiable, he lives with his third wife Susan in the house his parents built just outside Cincinnati, Ohio, in the late 1930s. The kitchen is spacious--he used some of his advance to enlarge it--but not professionally formidable. "We've always tried to keep regular cooking appliances," he explains about the Joy family tradition. "If you could make it here, you could make it anywhere...
...film's cropping is so tight that it excludes any human involvement, and ordinary household objects become screen stars before our mesmerized eyes. A potato warrior, two kitchen knives tied to its back, plunges down a ramp and a lazy tire hops aboard a tiny wheeled cart, only to glide a little further before hitting its target. The elaborate set-up is at once a marvel of makeshift precision and comic redundancy (just imagine a wheel riding a cart!), and these moments of transcendent anthropomorphism simultaneously account for the film's humor and its morbid undercurrent. Eventually the series will...
