About Alice by Calvin Trillin Calvin Trillin, author and writer for The New Yorker, often write about his wife, Alice. In About Alice , he looks back at his 26-year marriage to Alice, who died in 2001. Alice Trillin was a beautiful, lively, and intelligent woman, and Calvin loved her dearly, although he felt lucky that a woman this special loved him. Alice was his inspiration, often being the foil or straight man in his writings. This short (78 pages) book has received positive reviews with the Christian Science Monitor saying, "She was bright. She was lovely. She was deeply caring. But most of all, she was Alice. About Alice , Calvin Trillin's moving tribute to his wife of almost 40 years, is a slender volume that packs a hefty punch. Anyone who wants to know what it might be like to love the same person for most of a lifetime has only to pick up this little book to find out."

82. Thanksgiving calvin trillin s Campaign to Make Spaghetti Carbonara the National Dish for Thanksgiving –the real story of the first Thanksgiving http://www.rlrubens.com/Thanksgiving.html

Calvin Trillin's Campaign to Make Spaghetti Carbonara the National Dish for Thanksgiving –the real story of the first Thanksgiving [The following has been shamelessly excerpted from "Third Helpings," by Calvin Trillin. (These passages are quoted from Trillin, C. "The Tummy Trilogy," Farrar, Strauss and Giroux: New York, 1994, pp. 259-67.)]: I have been campaigning to have the national Thanksgiving dish changed from turkey to spaghetti carbonara. It does not take much historical research to uncover the fact that nobody knows if the Pilgrims really ate turkey at the first Thanksgiving dinner. The only thing we know for sure about what the Pilgrims ate is that it couldn't have tasted very good. Even today, well brought-up English girls are taught by their mothers to boil all veggies for at least a month and a half, just in case one of the dinner guests turns up without his teeth... (It is certainly unfair to say that the English lack both a cuisine and a sense of humor: their cooking is a joke in itself.) It would also not require much digging to discover that Christopher Columbus, the man who may have brought linguine with clam sauce to this continent, was from Genoa, and obviously would have sooner acknowledged that the world was shaped like an isosceles triangle than to have eaten the sort of things that the English Puritans ate. Righting an ancient wrong against Columbus, a great man who certainly did not come all this way only to have a city in Ohio named after him, would be a serious historical contribution. Also, I happen to love spaghetti carbonara.
