...materials are used (often quite tastefully), and local architects and artisans are employed whenever possible. Hilton also likes to put regional foods on his menus (his chefs in Teheran dug deep into history books, say his flacks, to come up with marinated filets apadana prepared just the way Xerxes ate them in 470 B.C.). But this has to be done sparingly: the U.S. guests do not want anything too outlandish, and many of the locals think it more sophisticated to eat European cuisine. "Far from being the brash intruder," wrote Nigel Buxton in Britain's Spectator, "Hilton is probably...
...hours, the flight was flawless. Streaking through space at 17,157 m.p.h.. Air Force Major Leroy Gordon Cooper Jr. ate, slept, exchanged banter with ground-bound fellow astronauts, coolly conducted scientific experiments. But now there was trouble. Just as Cooper prepared for the searing plunge through the earth's atmosphere, his autopilot system went...

Organized resistance to spraying began to appear. In Downers Grove, near Chicago, bird enthusiasts ran a loud campaign. They talked about "birdkill" and hinted that insecticides cause cancer in humans. They...
...Hamlet, and they while away Tennessee Williams with the chocolates with the scrumptious centers." The Mail's complaint was not another anti-American outburst, but a cultural critique of the world's most ravenous candy eaters: the British. Unfazed by calorie counts, the English last year ate an average 8 oz. of candy weekly, nearly double the sweet tooth of any other European country and well above the 5.6 oz. a week the U.S. puts away. All this amounts to a big rock candy mountain of 1.4 billion Ibs. of sweets annually. For Britain's 800 candy...
