OFF OUR BEATEN TRACK
CHINESE CUISINE-AMERICAN PALATE, An Anthology
Dr. Jacqueline Newman, Ph.D. and Roberta Halporn, Editors
Not a cookbook! Instead essays by a group of culinary experts who met at Queens College, N.Y.C. The publication covers current food preparation in Asia, describes how first generation Chinese and Vietnam immigrants are locating appropriate foods and preparing meals adapted to the tastes they brought with them from home, and the outrageous amalgams Caucasian-Americans made of Chinese cuisine (such as the Chow Mein Sandwich). Concludes with studies of the finely developed Sino-American haute-cuisine we can experience today.

VOX POPULI: MONUMENTS BY THE PEOPLE. LEST WE FORGET
A New CD From the Center. Brook Jacobs, Francene Kerry & Constance Halporn, Photographers
This new CD pays tribute to the ephemeral art works that appear at the site of a disaster, either personal (such as an automobile accident), or global, such as the World Trade tragedy of September 11, 2000. The Drivers will find amateur constructions at the site of a roadside disaster, or, in poorer sections, discover flamboyant spray-painted wall murals for an individual who has often died young. The same need to pay homage to victims of the collapsed towers in New York City resulted in arranged flowers, banners, constructions and poems in parks, on bridges, and other public spaces. They were photographed on September 12th and 13th, 2000 in a marathon walk around the city. Designer Roberta Halporn believes this instinctive artistic impulse is often suppressed in the elementary grades when our childhood scribbles are compared to the works of "real" masters. Includes children's drawings, and poems. A reading copy of the text is included.
