...size has specialty stores selling freshly made pasta, as well as hard durum wheat flour for knead-it-yourselfers, and imported cheeses, sauces, oils, olives and herbs to anoint each dish. A sophisticated caterer can offer whole pasta dinners, starting with pisarei e fasoi (bean soup with gnocchi and prosciutto) through bigoli all'anitra (Venetian wheat pasta with poached duck) and baked spaghetti pie with cinnamon-flavored cream and eggs for dessert. Pasta cookbooks are churned out with dizzying regularity. Mostly written by Italians, they are generally excellent; for instance, Sicilian-descended Carlo Middione's new Pasta! Cooking...
Laid on at a cost of $4,000, it was a banquet fit for a movie king: white and green pasta, chicken with mozzarella and prosciutto, strawberries dipped in chocolate, vintage wine. Francis Ford Coppola, 41, the director of the Godfather films and Apocalypse Now, had invited 100 journalists to inspect the most elaborate toy a movie-mad boy could hope to own: Zoetrope Studios, the 10½-acre Hollywood production lot he bought early in 1980 to make his own films and those of fiercely loyal independent moviemakers he has invited to join him.

But in his adaptation of Robert Crichton's bestseller he has wisely opted for entertainment. As the boozy, scapegrace official, Quinn delivers a prosciutto performance-but that is exactly what the part requires. Strutting on the cobblestones, cowering before Rosa, exchanging peasantries with the Germans, he becomes a figure of comic-operatic stature. If Quinn is Italo, Magnani is Italy. The ancient sorrow and strength of the nation are inscribed on a face that...
...British view, a merger between BP and Sohio is as logical a combination as prosciutto and melon. The North Slope strike and the Sinclair acquisition, says BP Chairman Eric Drake, left BP "with an oilfield at one end of the country, a market at the other, and Sohio in the middle." Sohio, which has some 3,500 gas stations in the Midwest, is renowned for its refining and marketing organization, but it has not had access to enough crude oil to permit expansion. So the companies .agreed to have Sohio take over BP's U.S. marketing, with BP supplying...
