AIR FRIES, FAKIN' BACON, VEGANNAISE, NAYONAISE, CONSCIOUS CUISINE

   I checked out the menu at Better Burger NYC, 565 Third Avenue at 37th
Street, NYC, 10016, (212) 949-7528, www.betterburgernyc.com.  The place
(conceived by Louis Lanza) received some reviews starting November 2001, so
it seems to be new.
   "Air Fries," or "air-baked fries," caught my attention.  I see a new slang
phrase in this:  "Do you want air with that?"
   None of the terms in the subject line above can be found in that great
scholarly work, THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOOD AND DRINK (1999) by John
Mariani.

JERUSALEM NEWS (1919-1920)
   The only place that has this in the US seems to be the NYPL annex.  A
librarian was puzzled why an 80-year-old newspaper like this wasn't on
microfilm, and he told me not to get my hopes up.  My annex request came back
today as "not on shelf."   An important early record of 20th-century
Palestine--disappeared?

TED TURNER'S COMMENTS (reply to Fred)
   Not to get too off-topic here, but Turner's comments were totally
off-base.  The homicide/suicide bombers are driven by poverty?  I heard that
with 9-11, and then it turned out that the terrorists were well educated and
well-funded.  I've seen poverty all around the world, but not everyone
murders kids at a Bat Mitzvah.  I'd feel far happier when atrocities like
that are universally condemned in places like the UN.  We can start with
places like the New York Times.
