Though no two Morrison's cafeterias are decorated alike-motifs can vary from French colonial to classical Roman-menus, portions and prices are the same from branch to branch. Shunning more exotic dishes, the chain sticks to such bestselling staples as roast beef, chicken and fried shrimp, specifications for which are detailed in a six-inch-thick recipe book called "the Bible." With an IBM computer keeping close tabs on supplies and customer preferences, Morrison's holds losses from spoilage and leftovers to a scant 2%. Similar precision governs food display: on the serving line, such higher-profit...
Hematologists have long sought ways to prevent the formation of dangerous and possibly fatal blood clots. First there was heparin, extracted from the livers and lungs of beef cattle. Then came coumarins, made from rotted sweet clover. Now some British researchers believe they have found what they want in the venom of a Malayan pit viper, close kin to American rattlesnakes...
...finished paintings often struck viewers as painfully clumsy. His por traits looked like pillows pounded into more or less human shape. His great slabs of beef (inspired by Rembrandt) were hideously bloodsplattered. His landscapes were wildly out of perspective. Yet today, a quarter of a century after his death (at the age of 50 in Paris), Soutine no longer seems an ec centric maverick; instead he has be come a mainstream figure in 20th cen art. The shift in judgment has been largely caused by the emergence of the New York school of abstract expressionism, whose leaders built with...
...strengthen the economy, Castro has tried one fruitless scheme after another. He built a new, modern commercial-fishing fleet of 300 boats, then found that most Cubans simply do not care for fish. He expanded cattle herds, but the distribution system is so bad that most of the beef still is not reaching Cuban tables. Now he has launched several show projects, including a "Che Guevara Invader Brigade" to open up more than 150,000 acres for farming in central Cuba by stamping out the ubiquitous Marabu weed, and a campaign to clear a 100,000-acre "belt" of land...
...make the dietary laws more acceptable. The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America has worked with major food companies to place rabbinical stamps of approval on thousands of food goods, from cola to canned beans. Many supermarkets carry such modern kosher delicacies as a "bacon" made from beef rather than forbidden pork, and a soybean-based ice cream, made without milk, which can be eaten as a dessert at meals where there is meat...
