Stumping Scientists. In southwestern Minnesota, in the town of Ivanhoe, Ray Heard, a beef and dairy farmer, figures that he has lost $30,000 in the past three years and is approaching bankruptcy. This year, as his grazing land turned to dust, he spent $10,000 on hay. "We're practically giving away cattle, the prices are so low," he says. "I'm hanging on by my toenails." In just the past year, Minnesota has lost 3,000 of its 34,000 dairy farmers because of soaring feed costs and dry pastures. In South Dakota...
...have to pay the full board fee if I never eat breakfast? Why does Adams have realcoffee, and Eliot doesn't? And perhaps most important, if Dartmouth can offer a variety of meal plan contracts for students to choose, why can't Harvard? Where does the buck, and the beef, stop...
Food and festivity followed the athletics. Saturday night, Penn served up large portions of roast beef at a sumptuous banquet. Sunday night parties celebrated the tourney's end. The Harvard women took over Pagano's, a Philadelphia Italian restaurant featuring lotsa pasta. They cornered Pagano's bar and danced tirelessly to a band blasting the best of the disco sounds.

In Maine logging camps, a typical meal consists of vegetable soup, baked beans, bread and jam, macaroni and cheese, ground-beef casserole, pancakes, spaghetti and meatballs, beef stew, fresh baking-powder biscuits, in no particular order. Somewhat more delicately, Julia Child girds for winter with bean soup, enriched with leftover beef or lamb stew or whatever, and home-baked bread. And long johns...

At night, when native dancers perform, the restaurant's prices are high, but the buffet lunch is a bargain: for $5.50, guests can take their pick of dozens of spicy (skewered beef) or sweet (banana soup) dishes. For some executives from nearby oil-company offices, however, the food must have a bitter taste these days. According to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the restaurant was built largely with money "coerced" out of U.S. companies by the former head of Pertamina, the Indonesian...
