For instance, look at meat balls,
a good old standby dish from way
back. In the recipe below we show
how to add new character to them.
The combination of sage and other
seasonings gives rare zest Then
we simmer the balls in condensed
tomato soup !. more lively flavor
for the meat and a rich tomato
gravy besides.
We make the balls much smaller
than usual. too-no bigger than an
overgrown marble-and we use
hot oven All of which cuts down
on the cooking time
In making, roll the balls loosely.
That keeps them tender and juicy.

because of this sentence, COM

ligion is protected az fully and

ruthlessly ruled By FEWER

The Soviet system of gov

compared only to the Nazi

Nazism has never assumed a
mask of democracy.
And the Russian flimflam
is PRECISELY THE SAME
