...week vacation with her regular traveling armory of knives, whisks, skillets, spoons and apron. But this time she also brought an array of bottles containing every conceivable kind of oil, except castor oil, plus half a dozen varieties of flour, six kinds of margarine, and sticks and sticks of butter. Then, for eight straight days, Julia did nothing but bake brioches, dozens at a time.

Encouraged by reports that several shopping-cart blockades the week before had forced the great chains to lower some prices, housewives marched in more than 100 cities. Placard-waving pickets popped up in places as disparate as Pittsburgh and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Washington, B.C. and Lubbock, Texas. Esther Peterson, the former Utah schoolteacher who is the President's special assistant for consumer affairs, egged on a band of New York City demonstrators, urging them to "vote with the dollar...
