The Hilarious Celebration of Women and The Change! ground ... Coupled with his coming from a wonderful line of fine cooks (four generations) gives him a huge advantage in the preparation of quality dishes ... many seldom seen in this area ... and others perhaps ordered but maybe not enjoyed with as much innovative taste that Peter Jr. is creat- ing with such immense words of praise. If pride alone were the indicator, there would be little beating that enjoyed by the Larco family ... Passing it on with fine culinary deeds not just words ...

It is located on Grand River and Sinacola Court in Farmington Hills at the M-5 Freeway between Halsted and Haggerty. The Greek salad, I think, is better than most. More ingredients, good size and better dressing. It also serves a corned beef hash like I've never had before, using real corned beef grilled with hash browns, green peppers and onions. It is great. There is a full menu and excellent wait staff. Two brothers run it, and as you know, it takes the boss being around to get the job done right." ... Sy Resnick, West Bloomfield.

"We see dis- crimination in some form or another almost every day, and often times, it leaves a sour taste in our mouths. We applaud a British Airways flight from Johannesburg where a middle-aged, well-off white South African lady found herself sitting next to a black man. "She called the flight attendant over to complain about her seating. 'What seems to be the problem, Madam?' asked the flight attendant l 'Can't you see?' she says. 'You've sat me next to a kaffir. I can't possibly sit next to this disgusting human. Find me another seat!' "'Please calm down madam,' the attendant replied. 'The flight is very full today, but I'll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class.' "The woman cocks a snooty look at the outraged black man besides her. A few minutes later, the attendant returns with the good news, which she delivers to the lady, who cannot help but look at the people around her with a smug and self-satisfied grin. "Madam, unfortunately, as I sus- pected, economy is full. I've spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full. However, we do have one seat in first class.' Before the lady has a chance to answer, the attendant con- tinues. 'It is most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, so I have had to get special permission from the captain. Given the circumstances how- ever, the captain felt that it is outra- geous that someone be forced to sit next to such an obnoxious person.' "With that, she turned to the black man sitting next to the woman and says, `So if you'd like to get your things, sir, I have your seat ready for you."' ... Al & Bernice Kesner, Las Vegas.
