Deliberate food adulteration is relatively easy to detect−watering of oysters and butter, injection of as much as a quart of water into fresh-killed turkeys just before freezing. The FDA concedes that there is no such thing as a perfectly clean food. But it is forever inching toward the impossible goal. Up to now, two pellets of rodent excrement in a pint of wheat have been permitted. This week a new and tougher rule went into effect: only one pellet per pint...
...root of the matter is the fact that the people who worked the play up are all pretty talented. Anouilh created a fast-moving and well-confused story, making even his stock characters interesting--the butler wonderfully antique, the rich Messerschmann intriguingly reduced to eating nothing but noodles, "without butter and without salt." Fry, in translating and adapting Anouilh's orignal L'invitation au chateau, left the dramatic action intact but colored up the prose considerably, at the same time avoiding any over-fanciful flights of words. Only in the third act, when there is too much emphasis...
...with Beech-Nut Packing Co., third biggest U.S. chewing-gum maker (after Wrigley, American Chicle). The merger, still to be formally approved by directors and stockholders, was a logical move for both companies. Life Savers was eager to expand.

Sitting in his truck of butter beans at the Plant City (Fla.) market one day last week, Farmer E. O. Goodson looked utterly bored. "I don't think I'm going to vote on May 29," he said, when told that Democratic Presidential Candidate Adlai Stevenson was speaking only a few blocks away. Then, his beans unloaded, Goodson drove home without another thought of next week's presidential primary, in which Stevenson and Estes Kefauver face a showdown for Florida's 28 convention votes...
...children's inexpensive clothing, the Keansburg store will offer cameras, costume jewelry, fishing rods, toasters, even outdoor lawn furniture. Five years from now, says Shield, every new supermarket will be a small department store; round-the-clock vending machines will sell such necessities as bread, butter and eggs; merchandise will move out of automated warehouses in 40-case lots. Says he: "You can't have a highly modern production plant with a horse-and-buggy distribution system. The supermarket will revolutionize our buying habits-and the revolution is just beginning...
