Even in 1972, when it was brand-new on Broadway (where it is still doing good business), Grease managed to look engagingly tattered and funky. It was like an old yearbook in the carton of high school memorabilia we all keep stored somewhere in the back of our lives. But there was nothing static in the show's evocation of '50s style and slang.

Some shoppers have become de facto vegetarians because of the sky-high price of meat, but vegetables are no bargain either. Marsha Avrushin of Oak Park, Mich., has taken to prowling supermarkets for off-brand items. Says she: "When I was a kid, a candy bar was a real treat. What makes my kids' mouths water now is a salad. Fruits and vegetables have become a luxury." Though shoppers everywhere are becoming much more discriminating in what they buy, many arrive at the check...
