   I'm NOT a coleslaw fan, but this one by Jeff Cox looks promising.
   
   The secret seems to be soaking the cabbage in ice cold water for a
   couple of hours.
   
   Remove outer leaves from cabbage, then core.  Cut heads into quarters
   and soak in cold water in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Shake
   off excess water and shred very finely, then pat shreds dry with
   towels. Place the shreds in a bowl and mix in all other ingredients.
   Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
   
   Makes 8 servings.
