•Today’s Slice question (for United Nations Day): Who is the person in your family or social circle directly responsible for the fact that you can’t ever try interesting ethnic restaurants because he/she, while being a good person, is about as adventurous as an agoraphobic when it comes to sampling different cuisines?

Write The Slice at P.O. Box 2160, Spokane, WA 99210; call (509) 459-5470; fax (509) 459-5098; e-mail pault@spokesman.com. Slice reader Bev Hatch avoided the whole keep it/change it question because Hatch was her name even before she married a guy named Hatch.
