...some peanut butter at one of the two convenience stores, mail a postcard at the South of the Border post office. It's dark now, and not many people are left around, so I wander the streets and reflect. Amigoland is absolutely deserted, the Mini-Mex golf course dark as night. So this is America, very imaginative, very progressive, and very wealthy. A little grease and pavement, but there's the sweet smell of exhaust in the air and fun all around. Sombrero towers; steak rooms; fireworks; mini gold; barrooms; postcards; ice cream; swimming pools. I feel at home here...
...trucker to shame. Several truckers, in fact. Each day the Swede tucks in the equivalent of 15 eggs, 6½ Ibs. of potatoes, 41/2 Ibs. of pork and liver, one package of bacon, four steaks, twelve slices of roast beef, two quarts of ice cream, 1 Ib. of butter, several loaves of bread, 20 quarts of tea and light beer...
...killer. Many were soon experiencing palpitations and sweaty palms. The diagnosis: anxiety over their own heart-wrecking habits.

That was the Mother's Day message to devoted husbands in an ad campaign that climaxed last week for the Cuisinart, the mechanical marvel that slices, dices, grinds and grates to produce treats ranging from paté to peanut butter. Cuisinarts, Inc. of Greenwich, Conn., which sells processors of various sizes, priced from $100 to $260, had good reason to launch the commercial blitz. Its status as the Cadillac of kitchen cutters is being seriously challenged by Robot-Coupe, the French firm whose founder, Pierre Verdun, invented the machines...
...will find out, no doubt, that Americans who do not patronize les grands restaurants live on substances like le cake mix, JellO, peanut butter, ketchup, Coke and orangeade without orange. Surfeited with frozen victuals and "baby food," they have lost all contact with natural flavors. From an early age they grow fat on sugars, gassy drinks, bread and superfluous vitamins. "No wonder," say GM, "that American dentists are the best in the world or that the gastroenterologists are so busy." Evidemment, you must eat only in the very best places, and your first duty on landing is to make your...
