Chewing on a chitterling, even after it has been carefully cleaned and cooked, is rather like chewing on a football bladder. So soul-food restaurants that cater to whites rarely carry chitlins on their menus, instead stick to more conventional dishes, such as shrimp gumbo, "smothered" pork chops and ham hocks. Even those have little appeal to a gourmet palate. Soul food is often fatty, overcooked and underseasoned. Vegetables are boiled with fatback for so long that their taste and nutritional value go up in steam; meats have to be sprinkled liberally with salt and pepper to give the eater...
Cricket Bats. A few shops now cater to left-handers who either cannot or will not adjust to a right-handed world. One of the most interesting-run by a righthander, surprisingly-is Anything Left-Handed, Ltd. in London's West End. Its director, William Gruby, 39, opened his store late last year after giving a dinner party at which he and his wife found that their four guests were all left-handed and all perfectly willing to complain bitterly about the nuisances of life in a right-handed world.

Building to something akin to missionary zeal, Milgrim continues: "The few places that cater to singles-clubs, $3-a-head dances or whatever-can be pretty degrading. The marvelous thing about a cruise like this is the preservation of basic dignity. Here the singles have created their own world-where they have to answer...
Unlike the old European munitions makers, who made it a point of honor to sell to all comers, the U.S. law-and-order suppliers usually cater only to the police. Though some states ban sales to the public of items like tear gas, the industry generally operates under its own self-imposed restraints. The police market, after all, is likely to boom for quite some time. "Even if the students really organize a peace movement instead of rioting," says Gunn of Bangor Punta, "it won't happen overnight...
