I wondered about this phenomenon. We had Sukkot with some
somewhat Orthodox friends (members of some kind of breakaway
Hasidic sect), and in the conversation there came up the
issue of how many days to celebrate, and mention was made of
a group (I presume the Reforms) who didn't celebrate enough
or something.

Hey, didn't you notice, Al Gore wasn't vice-president 6 years ago,
it was some guy named Edwards. Anyhow, Gore wasn't so imperious as
the Doonesbury cartoons made him look.

It was in fact someone rather more self-absorbed than Al Gore:
Bill Clinton. It was 13 years ago. LAX wasn't shut down at all but
brought to half capacity; a smaller airport might have been shut
down - I was once on a flight that circled seemingly endlessly over
such an airport when a more recent president decided to whistlestop
there. I figure the white house owes me a burger and a couple beers
from what I missed during that hour.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.03

      Title: Frank's Corn Bread
 Categories: Bread
      Yield: 1 loaf

      1 c  Yellow corn meal
      1 c  Flour
      1 ts Salt
      2 ts Baking powder
    2/3 c  Sugar
      2    Eggs
      4 tb Butter, melted and cooled to
           Tepid
      1 c  Milk

  Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

  Lightly grease an 8 x 8 baking pan.

  Stir together the corn meal, flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.

  In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs, mixing well for 1
  minute.

  Beat in the melted butter.

  Add the milk and mix well.

  Slowly add the dry mixture until all is moist.  Do not over-mix.

  Pour into pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.  Testing with tooth pick
  should come out clean.

  Cool for about 20 minutes and remove from pan.

  Mom's Notes.  This is my neighbor Frank's recipe.  It is really good.
  It is not grainy like most corn bread is. If you like corn bread, you
  should try this one. One change he sometimes makes, is to replace the
  milk with orange juice.  I haven't tried it that way, but he said it
  is delicious. From: Carolyn Stewart                 Date: 03-27-95
