Union Oyster Hosue Cookbook
Now for the very first time, America's oldest restaurant offers its history and traditional Yankees recipes in the Union Oyster House Cookbook.

Established in 1826, Boston's Union Oyster House is the country's oldest continuously operated restaurant. The building itself is so old that municipal records do not record its original function.

From 1771 until the beginning of the Revolutionary War it was the home of "The Massachusetts Spy," long known as the oldest newspaper in the United States. During the war it the pay-station for early Federal troops. Louis Phillipe, later King of France, was a guest and taught French to prominent Bostonians. Daniel Webster was said to drink a tall tumbler of bandy and water with each half dozen oysters.

Famous patrons of the Union Oyster House have included Paul Newman, Muhammad Ali, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, Ozzie Osbourne and Edward Kennedy. John F. Kennedy preferred Booth 18 upstairs which now has a dedication plaque. In 2003, the Union Oyster House was named a National Historic Landmark.

Description:
Altruism is generally understood to be behavior that benefits others at a personal cost to the behaving individual. However, within evolutionary biology, different authors have interpreted the concept of altruism differently, leading to dissimilar predictions about the evolution of altruistic behavior. Generally, different interpretations diverge on which party receives the benefit from altruism and on how the cost of altruism is assessed. Using a simple trait-group framework, we delineate the assumptions underlying different interpretations and show how they relate to one another. We feel that a thorough examination of the connections between interpretations not only reveals why different authors have arrived at disparate conclusions about altruism, but also illuminates the conditions that are likely to favor the evolution of altruism. ...

As Good As A Ken BurnsBiography
This large-format album approximates the Fitzgerald personal scrapbook, mirroring the dazzling couple as they rush to stardom and fade into memory. Until seeing this closely, I had thought biographers had done their best. Not so. Scott and Zelda left more than a literary legacy here for others to hope and dream upon. It not only tracks their public life but Scott's private musings on his art, life and his literary score in the marketplace. His private and personal demands on his artistry, his private thoughts and hopes, his advice to his surviving daughter in a few letters are on exhibit. Whether in seclusion at the height of his fame or in seclusion, forgotten and underused in Hollywood, his focus on the details, running not from the past but to an uncertain almost unattainable perfection are displayed for posterity in this book. To me, this book and Budd Schulberg's "The Disenchanted," which sketches in the unknown Hollywood Fitzgerald with sympathy and understanding, more completely renders this literary inspiration. ...
