...constructed, poorly thought out addresses wander from point to point, and listeners' minds wander too. Lack of effort is not necessarily a sign of sloth. Ministers increasingly are expected to bear heavy loads of counseling and administration that nibble away their time. One rule of thumb is to spend "an hour in the study for each minute in the pulpit." But many modern preachers say they are lucky to manage half that...
...grants, but figures that the price will be well worth it. Unlike the subsidized candidates, who are allowed I at present to raise only $15.8 million on their own, Connally will have no limits on the amounts he can solicit. More important, subsidized candidates will be allowed to spend only a certain amount in each state, e.g., $264,000 in New Hampshire, $1,351,000 in Florida.

Because they lack the fame and, probably, the inclination, France's women chefs stick close to their restaurants, which may explain why they run many of the best bistros in that country. Also, as Madeleine Peter points out in The Great Women Chefs of France (Holt, Rinehart & Winston; 333 pages; $14.95), these talented femmes have generally been excluded from the cooking schools and restaurant brigades where the men learn their...
