Another lovely legacy of old Russia is Chicken Kiev, a dish too seldom served in American homes or restaurants. Carl Jerome's The Complete Chicken (Random House; 247 pages; $12.95) should provide a rise in fare. The author, who has been a teaching and writing associate of James Beard's, ennobles the plebeian poulet in such great incarnalations as demi-deuil, en brioche and bollito misto, all sagely laid out. Jerome also offers some offbeat recipes for Southern fried chicken that will stir sizzling debate in Dixie...
Sills plans to keep the company mostly American and to scout Europe for expatriate talent. Says she: "If I had the career I did, educated and working in America, why can't others?" She also hopes to continue producing works that are seldom staged. "I want to get to the point where, with the exception of a few bread-and-butter operas like Butterfly and Boheme, we have no crisscrossing of repertory with the Met," says Sills. "We shouldn't be the second company in New York; we should be the other company, the different...
There are doubtless many reasons. An odd but important one is that the '60s lasted too long. As folklore, decades seldom observe the calendar's nice limits. The '20s actually began with the adoption of Prohibition; the '30s, launched by the 1929 crash, did not end until 1941, when the U.S. entered the big war. The election of Dwight Eisenhower as President in 1952 began the time consistently, if imperfectly, remembered as the quiet '50s. The furies and griefs that are recalled as the essence of the '60s began...
...poster campaign was the most dramatic expression of popular feeling in Peking since the death of Mao in 1976. In the largest single incident, 6,000 demonstrators, marching 30 abreast, paraded through the streets chanting slogans seldom heard in the People's Republic since the Communist takeover in 1949: "Long live democracy! We will never turn back!" Their destination was T'ien An Men Square, site of what had up to now been the most extraordinary political happening in China's recent past. In April 1976, throngs had congregated there to protest the removal of wreaths left...
...includes such classics as W. Eugene Smith's Spanish Village, Howard Sochurek's The Prairie and Dorothea Lange's Irish Country People, as well as many less remembered but equally riveting studies, complemented by Edey's inside story of the ways they were put together. Seldom can one say that a 278-page book should have been twice as long...
