...weather was especially hard on growers in Texas' depressed Rio Grande valley, where fruit and vegetable production is the leading industry; citrus losses in that area alone could reach $55 million. Winter vegetables, including celery, cauliflower, radishes and broccoli, were heavily damaged in the South. In Florida, virtually the entire $200 million vegetable harvest might be gone, and in Texas only about 20% of the crop might be salvaged...
...Eating lots of broccoli. You know, it's not the weirdo cartoonist that warps. The real warped view is on TV every night. Sanitized reality. Our job is to unwarp as best we can by reflecting the truth back into your eyes. It's not warped that Opus ((the penguin)) gets a buttock implant. On the contrary, I think it's pretty trendy...
...prove to be a mixed blessing. Some experts complain that a generation that faces fewer real health threats than did their grandparents has become hypersensitive to relatively minor perils. Biochemist Bruce Ames of the University of California, Berkeley, points out that naturally occurring carcinogens in many foods -- cabbage, broccoli and oranges -- are much more potent than traces of man-made pesticides. "Most of us are more secure with respect to basic survival than we were a generation ago," says Ann Fisher, manager of the EPA's Risk Communication Program. "We're now in a position where we look with fear...
...returned something less than an "overwhelming verdict" of "kudos to HDS." We found the vegetarian hamburger to be, frankly, vile. We were amazed at HDS' lame attempt to improvise a new menu item. We compared it unfavorably to other emetics frequently served in our dining halls, such as broccoli-cheese pasta and vegetable stromboli. If Mr. Berger turns out to be partial to these dishes too, we would not dream of denying him the right to his opinion. We would, however, deny him the right to speak for the general undergraduate population, which we believe feels that the quality...
Reticent about his personal life (he still lives in Tallahassee), Roberts is evangelical about jazz. "Children don't get a chance to hear much jazz," he says. "If you eat at McDonald's all your life, then you won't like broccoli the first time you taste it." When Roberts is cooking at the keys, though, he serves up jazz that is not only knowledgeable but accessible. Contemporary jazz can be too hip to draw in the listener: the more intrepid the music, the more insistent it seems about sealing itself off. Roberts' gift is to keep connected to past...
