...they now know it. In the cities all winter, housewives have had to wait interminably in line for potatoes, macaroni, flour, coal and coarse, gritty brown bread; in some areas, where bread ran out, they have heeded Marie Antoinette's apocryphal advice and queued for cookies and cake instead. Asked recently how he thought 1964 would turn out, one Muscovite replied dryly: "Worse than 1963, but better than...
LIKE a piece of sculpture, a detective story or a cake, a publication is shaped as much by what is left out as by what is put in. Trying to tell a week's history in an average 44 pages, TIME'S editors must be, above everything else, selective.

Monsanto, a producer of leavening agents tor cake-mix companies, designed the study to discover the best leavening combination for each mix. Its experiment is just one of the hundreds of ways...
...Roman Catholic Little Brothers of the Poor dissent in every respect, except that the main dish must be traditional. Last week they started their dinner for 350 of the city's aged and indigent by serving hot rum punch. They embellished the meal itself with lobster salad, cake, and compote of fruit flambé, expertly cooked by the Little Brothers. They served French champagne, and the 117 dozen roses used as table decorations were given away to the guests afterward...
