Anthony Bourdain remembered
\"A moving and insightful collection of quotes, memories, and images celebrating the life of Anthony Bourdain. When Anthony Bourdain died in June 2018, the outpouring of love from his fans around the world was momentous. The tributes spoke to his legacy: That the world is much smaller than we imagine and people are more alike than they are different. As Bourdain once said, \"If I'm an advocate of anything, it's to move...Walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their food.\" Anthony Bourdain Remembered brings together memories and anecdotes from fans reminiscing about Bourdain's unique achievements and his enduring effect on their lives as well as comments from chefs, journalists, filmmakers, musicians, and writers inspired by Bourdain including Barack Obama, Eric Ripert, Jill Filipovic, Ken Burns, Questlove, and Josâe Andrâes, among many others. These remembrances give us a glimpse of Tony's widespread impact through his political and social commitments; his dedication to travel and eating well (and widely); and his love of the written word, along with his deep compassion, open-mindedness, and interest in lives different from his own. Anthony Bourdain Remembered captures Bourdain's inimitable spirit and passion in the words of his devoted fans as well as some of his closest friends and colleagues.\" -- Back cover.

Suspicions and Spies
Permit me to reply to Sen. Daniel Moynihan's letter in the Post of Nov. 6. I willingly affirm that (not for want of effort on my part) the senator was not one of those who discussed with me the suspicion that an American official may have been involved in compromising a spy in Moscow [\"The Conspiracy to Create 'Traitors,'\" Outlook, Oct. 26].

A DIARY FROM POLAND: SOLIDARITY'S BEGINNING; A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO, THE UNION SOLIDARITY WAS FORMED OUT; OF THE STRIKES AT THE GDANSK SHIPYARD; AUGUST 28, 1980
Warsaw today is gray on gray. Storm clouds brood over the utilitarian buildings that line its streets. The city was rebuilt virtually from nothing after World War II, fashioned from memory and old city plans and the gloomyvision of party architects. Its reconstruction is indeed the miracle that successive governments have claimed it is, but inevitably it is flawed. As often happens with such plastic surgery, the repair work is as evident as the feature itself. The effect is a rather constant sense of the kind experienced in meeting an old friend whose appearance has changed drastically. One is reminded of something else - in this case, of Warsaw. Flowers and trees are present everywhere but scarcely noticeable, and newer structures are almost uniformly free of cheerfulness or fancy. The clouds might be tied permanently to the buildings. In everything, there is the reminder that winter comes again. Balancing himself on one crutch, he brings both hands together and pumps them back and forth in the manner of a man firing a machine gun. Pure fright takes over for a long moment before I can think to find the map I have carried since coming to Poland. The tailor points a thick finger toward the spot marked Gdansk. He is repeating the pantomime of the machine gun as I leave. The hour belongs to [Lech Walesa], and it may be his best ever in public. Virtually unselfconscious from the combination of strain and exhaustion, he maneuvers himself and [Miecslaw Yagielski] through the ceremony with the sheer exuberant force of his personality and the momentum that has built for weeks. Heedless of television cameras, he acts like a bridegroom outside the church, nervously smoothing his hairline, exhaling almost audible sighs, gently moving Yagielski into place when protocol is uncertain. He signs the agreement on behalf of the workers with an outsized red and white pen, a popular souvenir from Pope [John Paul II]'s journey to Poland.

Iraq again attacks Tel Aviv Israelis: We'll decide when to respond
After two days of pummeling by U.S. and allied warplanes, Iraq again hit Israel with a Sabbath morning missile attack and urged the Muslim world to carry a campaign of terrorism to Saddam Hussein's enemies. The developments came as the U.S. stepped up the pace of its punishing air war. Waves of fighter jets and bombers were launched from American aircraft carriers and air bases around Saudi Arabia Saturday morning (Baghdad time) along with a renewed assault of deadly Tomahawk cruise missiles. The Pentagon confirmed that the Iraqis had launched three missiles, apparently Soviet-made Scuds, from western Iraq. Two of the missiles fell in Tel Aviv at about 7:20 a.m. (11:20 p.m. Friday CST), where they caused minor damage and left 10 people with slight injuries. A third did not explode. The missiles carried conventional warheads.

U.S. sends missiles to Israel Allies step up air raids on Iraq, Kuwait
Gaining more and more control in the air, U.S.-led forces pressed their search and destroy missions against Saddam Hussein's troops and missile sites in Iraq and Iraqi-held Kuwait Saturday. U.S. Patriot missiles and crews were rushed to Israel to defend against missile attacks. There was also diplomatic contact between the U.S. and Iraq Saturday. An Iraqi diplomat was called to the State Department in Washington, where he was handed a letter explaining the details of the Geneva Convention, particularly in relation to prisoners of war. The U.S. is holding at least 12 Iraqi prisoners. While Iraq claims to have captured American fliers, the U.S. says it knows of no prisoners. The sophisticated U.S. Patriot surface-to-air missile units, already credited with one kill of a Scud in Saudi Arabia, arrived in Israel along with the U.S. troops to operate the weapons, a deployment unprecedented in American-Israeli relations. The Israeli government asked for the protection and received immediate approval from President Bush after it was clear the Iraqis were still able to launch Soviet-made Scud missiles against Israel.

U.S. warplanes attack Iraq Allied strikes hammer Hussein's missile sites, defenses Ground forces not involved in action yet
The United States launched a massive air attack on Iraq and Iraqi-held Kuwait Wednesday night, the thunderous beginning of what President Bush said was a war to liberate Kuwait and destroy Iraq's war machine. Spearheaded by bomb-laden U.S. Air Force F-15E jets from central Saudi Arabia and deadly Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from U.S. Navy ships, the initial attack fell on Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's capital city of Baghdad, apparently at the city's airport and at key defense installations throughout Iraq. At that instant, about 3 a.m. in Baghdad, Operation Desert Shield, the code name for last summer's United Nations effort to deter Hussein's advance, became Operation Desert Storm, the biggest air assault since the Vietnam War and the opening of a violent drive to force Hussein to abandon the territory he seized Aug 2.
