T f Cookie Monster knew about
I our fair downtown's chocciate-I-
chip caches, he wouldn't be
messing around on Sesame Street;
the loveabte blue fur-ball would
hightail it to Lincoln.
No less than four cookie shops
sell their wares In downtown Lin
coln Cookies n Cream, the
Cookie Company, Do-Biz end Mis
ter Cookie. The Cookie Company
and Do-Biz have been around for
a while, white Cookies n' Cream
and Mister Ccckie tire the new
kids on the cockia-ahop block."
Miiter Cookie, 240 N. 14th St.,
b a 2 -month-old family busi
ness specializing in homemade
cookies and atmosphere. It's
owned and operated by Mike and
Virgie White, who got into the
business because Mike likes cook
ies. "The problem I had was I
couldnt ga anywhere end buy a
J U it,
cookia that tastes homemade I
tried all klnd3 but they all had a
certain bakery flavor," Mike said.
"So we decided to open a cookie
store."
The Whites use all their own
recipes to create "a cookie like
Grandma would make at home,"
Mike said. They either made up
the recipes themsdvcs.or got them
from other family members.
Virgis end Mike split the duties
at Mistcf Cookie in a rather uni
que way.
"We're each responsible for half
of the doughs," Mike said. "She
can't do my doughs and I can't do
hers."
The Whites' specialties are
yogurt cookies and snicker doo
dles. Mike said the yogurt cookies
are peculiar to his store. Mister
Cookie abo sells cookie baskets
for gifts, ddugh by the cookie or
half pound and decorated cookies.
They've done several decora
tions, Mike said. One which stands
out in his mind is a 12-inch
diamond-shaped birthday cookie
he decorated for a UNL sorority.
Another decoration was so t.'iarre,
Mike said "I wouldn't even tcU you
about it."
The big diamond cookie cost
$5.25; that's the very top of Mister
Cookie's price scale. An individ
ual cookie cost3 55.
Mister Coo Ids cSfers seating and
sella hot sandwiches in addition
to their cookie and bevera- menu.
It's located in the former home of
The Gaieto. The Whites have re
modeled with a rather simple
decor, featuring a showcase and
a railroad depot bench which
both date back to the lEOOs.
Cookies n Cream opens offi
cially today along with the rest of
Le Metro Food Court in the lower
level of the Atrium. Run by Al and
Linda Natlcchioni, it features a
"gourmet thick and chewy"
chocolate-chip cookie. In addition
to the cookie menu, Cookies 'n
Cream will sell cinnamon rolls,
soft serve yogurt, sherbets and a
variety of beverages.

DsIIy Nebraskan Editor
The story in "Country" is all too
familiar to many Midwesterners.
In fact, the story's familiarity
might soften the impact of its
tragedy. Anyone who has spent
any time in the country or in a
small town knows stories just as
tragic.
The star of the film, Jessica
Langs, came up with the idea for
"Country." She wanted it to be an
editorial picture of sorts she
wanted "Country" to bring atten
tion to the small family farmer's
situation.
To an extent, the movie suc
ceeds. It is moving and depress
ing and makes a lot of people in
the theater cry. But too much
tragedy b crammed into the plot.
It may be too melodramatic.
Langs plays Jewell Ivy, a simple
woman who fights to save her
farm from the government and
her family from falling apart Sam
Shepard plays her anguished hus
band. Any farmer in Nebraska knows
at least some of the problems the
Ivys faced. The Ivys' farm is beset
by natural disaster, then finan
cial disaster. The Farmers Home
Administration is portrayed as
the bad guy. Every time the FmHA
administrator creeps onto the
screen, the "heavy" music starts
up.
Like many f.m.?,li farmers, the
Ivy3 can't break even. They have
thousands of dollars in delinquent
loans, and although the net worth
of their land and equipment is
more than 003,000, they are liv
ing cn about 13,000 a year.
The FmHA forecloses. The fam
ily b shattered. 'Gil becomes a
despondent drunk
