of course, CIA refers to the _Culinary Institute of America_, training ground for

high-priced members of the union about which Tom writes. [[note for tourists:

it's in Hyde Park NY, near the FDR Library, and has several restaurants on

premises, so the budding chefs can practice...]] Now that I'm thinking about

it, I don't know whether I'd say /kyu/-linary or /kull/-inary (as in _cull_ or

_pull_, which have the same vowel for me); I can't imagine /ku/-linary.



Alice: Just think of all those pigeons in Hyde Park: coo-coo-coo! They

were all trained by the CIA. :-)
