...claimed in Dallas, the president of Dow Chemical Co. received a pay raise of 196% and has to "eke out an existence on $305,000 a year." He inveighed against tax loopholes for the rich. "You pay for every martini lunch that a businessman deducts-while you eat a bologna sandwich." (Later, travelers on his campaign plane ceremoniously presented McGovern with a martini-which he declined-and a single bologna sandwich...
Holiday Inns has a products division that makes and markets a myriad of goods: furniture, bologna, kitchen equipment-everything that is needed to start a motel from scratch. The division even manufactures prefabricated bars. One popular item is a $25,000 Club Escadrille bar, complete with World War I flying decor, wing emblems, portraits of Rickenbacker and Von Richthofen, and a muted sound track of planes landing and taking off.

Robert B. Bean directed, apparently by remote control...
...blast from Bologna may have been the harshest so far, but it was not the most influential. That came last month when Leo-Jozef Cardinal Suenens, primate of Belgium and outspoken leader of the "loyal opposition" within the church (TIME, Aug. 1, 1969), attacked the Lex Fundamentalis in an interview with Director Richard Guilderson of the National Catholic News Service. Though the cardinal left open the question of "whether or not a constitutional law of the church is at all possible," he assailed both the timing and the content of the present draft, borrowing liberally from Alberigo's study...
