...turned the management over to Ken Aretsky and Anne Rosenzweig, the team behind Arcadia, a popular East Side boutique-restaurant celebrated for its new American cooking. Even more frightening to those accustomed to "21's" innocuous but soothing nursery dishes was the news that Rosenzweig, who would mastermind the kitchen, had chosen as her lieutenant Alain Sailhac, one of the best French chefs in the country, who had distinguished himself at Le Cirque. What was right for Arcadia and fancy French restaurants would not be right for "21," doubters said, fearing nothing so much as an invasion of foodies...
...described as kitsch chinoiserie. There are lots of "Ah so"s and "Honorable sirs" and wavings of fans here, which in almost any other context would look offensively cliched but here fit in perfectly with Brecht's consciously artificial evocation of China. The odd thing about Serban's kitchen sink approach is that he seems to borrow almost as many Japanese conventions as Chinese, suggesting that Serban has been dealing his Orientalism from a rather shallow supply. But who cares, when the production works so well...
Half the time you won't catch Winifred minding the firm. She could be in the kitchen baking brownies or chocolate-chip cookies. Or she could be in the fiber-glass hothouse picking peas, pulling chard. She might be off on her bicycle feeding cows. She may have gone to town to fetch dry goods.

If not, tough luck." Calling...
What, however, has this to do with art? The sprawling, sometimes rambling narrative indulges in an uncomfortable amount of kitchen psychoanalysis ("The only thing that can explain this man, with his chain smoking, pills, liquor, insomnia, and need for crowds, is incredible pain") in arguing that Bernstein's background has forged the schizoid musician, from slick tunesmith to leonine conductor, that he has become. In Peyser's view -- formed with the partial cooperation of Bernstein, who gave her permission to use some personal letters -- the works of the artist cannot be understood without taking into account the character...
...series of rapid-fire discoveries, researchers around the world have begun concocting a different class of materials that become superconductors at significantly higher temperatures -- levels that, while still beyond the reach of a kitchen refrigerator, are easier and less costly to attain. These achievements have had an electrifying effect on a subject that just a year ago would have elicited yawns from physicists and blank stares from politicians. Indeed, hardly a week has passed since the New York City meeting without reports from competing scientists -- in the popular press as well as in professional journals -- of new superconducting materials...
