Part of the safety issue may be lack of oversight and accountability. Only nine state governments have fully adopted the Food and Drug Administration's 2005 Food Code, which lays out safe food-handling and sanitation standards. The CSPI, along with the National Restaurant Association, which represents food establishments, is pushing for all 50 states to adopt this code. The restaurant association would also like to see a standardized inspection form that would make it easier for evaluators to identify problem areas quickly, helping to advance food safety.

It was Miro's power of recall as much as anything else that caused the Surrealists to adopt him. His art seemed to open a direct line to the repossession of childhood through unedited memory. His own habits consorted oddly with the Surrealists'. He was shy, abstemious, almost obsessively neat and faithful to his wife. But he was the purest dreamer in Paris, and they needed him. Miro...
