Almost every day my little girl climbs into her old man's lap and puts her little arms around his neck and lays her head against his chest and melts his heart like cheese under the broiler. She comes home from soccer and bursts into the house and cries "Daddy!" and runs and clasps his knees for perhaps four seconds, or three, and this is the Hallelujah Chorus and the Water Lilies at Giverny of parenthood. And sometimes she says, "I love you so much." This is so indescribably lovely that the old man feels dread in his heart: When...
...fire appeared to originate in the exhaust flue of the stand-up broiler unit as a result of excessive grease build-up,” Higgins said. “The fire extended out of the duct work at the chimney connection and into the wood framing members in the basement, and into the walls...
...sold as "fresh." In 1988 Perdue complained, and some courageous USDA bureaucrats tried to right matters. From then on, they proposed, only chickens whose internal temperature had never fallen below 26 degrees could be sold as fresh. It was a valiant effort -- and it died quickly.

California then enacted its own 26 degree standard, but the Broiler Council went to court and won. Federal rules, said a frustrated U.S. appeals court, pre-empt state laws. "We affirm this absurdity," the judges wrote. "Congress has given federal bureaucrats the power to order that frozen chickens be labeled fresh." The Clinton Administration promised to review the issue promptly. That pledge, as an internal USDA memo reveals, was little more than a public-relations exercise designed to cover an "embarrassing" policy that "puts the USDA in the position of being anti-consumer." A press release was issued in February...
Smaltz has served more than 50 grand-jury subpoenas on individuals and groups ranging from the National Broiler Council, a chicken-industry trade group dominated by the Tyson company, to the Arkansas Workers Compensation Commission, the state agency that handles disability claims by Tyson employees. Among the many areas of Smaltz's inquiry are whether Tyson induced Espy to delay tough inspection rules for poultry, and why Espy intervened on Tyson's behalf in a chicken-labeling dispute in Puerto Rico. TIME has learned that Smaltz is also investigating a charge made by a former Tyson pilot that he helped...
