...scrawny excuse for a magazine, 32 pages, with pictures looking, according to one wit, as if they had been engraved on pieces of bread, the red border of the cover still far in the future. Even the name had been a problem. Facts was the early working title. There had been other suggestions?Briefs, Hours, Destiny, Chance. The editorial staff fitted easily into three taxis to go to the printing plant. There, in an all-night siege "amid torn newspapers, fried-egg sandwiches and smudged proof sheets," according to a later account, the first issue...
Missouri Farmer Walter Yoder keeps his 35 head of cattle on a diet of Wonder bread, honey buns and Ding Dongs (which they eat with the wrappers still on). "When I holler come and git it, these steers come running," Yoder says. "They like it more than the tall, lush grass in springtime. Even when the bread is moldy, they still like it just fine."

Bread was scarce but, miraculously, fresh flowers were on sale again. As a Western resident remarked, "The Lebanese at least have savoir-faire, if no common sense." The sound of tinkling glass could be heard on many streets as residents cleaned up after the week's havoc. Along the Corniche...
...Mostly Mozart Festival, which uses conventional instruments. Neville Marriner, for years conductor of London's Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, also criticizes the authenticity movement. "Music played on the instruments composers would have known is very popular with the open-toed-sandals-and-brown-bread set," cracks Marriner. "But the sound is coarse and rarely fluid. Whenever I get into an argument with a supporter of authentic instruments, I like to quote a young musician of the Academy of St. Martin, of the time when we attempted to use | authentic instruments. 'If Bach lhad been offered...
