...critics will have less and less to say of genuine interest. Naturally, there will be exceptions--the rich writer who "doesn't buy his own smoke," as my great uncle likes to say. On the whole, we can imagine a bevy of writers trotting out clever anecdotes about caviar parties of making up involved historical "episodes" without anything more worthwhile to say. I do not think we have to be worried just yet, however. The economy is bound to relax a bit, the contracts should come down a few hundred thousand dollars, and the writers will get back to grumbling...
...American Medical Association and the World Health Organization--and despite the FDA's renewed assurances last week that radiation at its recommended dosages affects neither a food's taste nor its nutritional value in any detectable way--irradiated poultry, vegetables and fruits are almost as rare as Iranian caviar in U.S. markets. Though NASA has long irradiated food for space flights, the only widely sold "nuked" consumer products on U.S. terra firma are baby-bottle nipples, cosmetics, bandages, tampons, contact-lens cleaning fluids, juice and milk cartons and wine corks...

"The Russians are eager to repair Spektr and get it back in operation," says TIME Science Writer Dick Thompson. "But American program managers don't believe that Spektr will ever be of much use ? because it could never be certified as safe." So much for a job well done. Some comfort for the Mir crew is a guaranteed place in the history books...
...High Table, the six dons chatter away while butlers in crisp which uniforms gingerly usher three routinely exquisite courses onto their plates (and this is not exaggerated): smoked salmon mousse with a dollop of caviar, prime venison steak with exotic grilled vegetables and a painstakingly hand-crafted brandy snap shell filled with fresh berries and topped with a Grand Marnier sauce. Each course is served with a choice of wines from the college cellar. Afterward, they retire to the Senior Common Room for port and coffee. And this is where our tuition fees are going...
