From the Cincinnati Post:
Some seafood-watch experts who care about overfishing and toxin levels of various species would substitute Pacific swordfish for imported, Altantic swordfish, according to a new diners' primer, "The Mere Mortal's Guide to Fine Dining" by Colleen Rush (Broadway Books).

From the Hartford Courant:
Post said that interest in manners took a dive in the '60s, but the pendulum has swung back. Today, manners books are selling because there's an audience craving solid, practical advice for negotiating what many believe to be an increasingly manner-less world. Besides Post's and Blaikie's titles, this month also saw the publication of "Jane Austen's Guide to Good Manners" by Josephine Ross and "The Mere Mortal's Guide to Fine Dining: From Salad Forks to Sommeliers, How To Eat and Drink in Style Without Fear of Faux Pas" by Colleen Rush.
