The Book of Candy
By Susan Dworkin; Four Walls
Eight Windows; $20.
Gloria Steinem said, "If we
still had campfires and story-
tellers, Susan Dworkin would be
making us laugh and cry with
this mythic woman's journey of
our day — from stereotype to
unique self." It is the story of a
woman breaking out of her Long
Island mold.
An Interior (detail), Thomas Wilmer Dewin g ; c. 1915
Nourish your love of beauty with the spectacular paintings created by American
artist Thomas Wilmer Dewing, one of the foremost painters of the 19th century.
Fact is, more Americans
may die by the fork than by
any other weapon. That's
because so many of them
use it irresponsibly. Like
to fill up on high-fat, high-
cholesterol foods. Foods
that can load the blood with
cholesterol, which can build
up plaque in their arteries,
increasing their risk of
heart attacks and threaten-
ing their lives. So next time
you pick up a fork, remem-
ber to handle it as you
would any other weapon.
For self-defense, not
self-destruction.
