...popular means of transportation. The largest store is run by the Falkland Islands Co., which owns more than 43% of the land and employs 240 workers. Mutton, delivered to homes twice a week, is still referred to as "the 365," meaning that people roast it and stew it and chew it 365 days a year. One happy result of the war is that the Falklanders decided to start a weekly newspaper, the Penguin News. Another welcome consequence: demand for colorful Falkland Islands stamps (printed in England) has grown so much that the government earned more last year from foreign philatelists...
...part, five-hour production now enlivening the stage of Minneapolis' Guthrie Theater becomes a 17th of considerable distinction. The scenic effects are accomplished with stunning finesse (heightened by Santo Loquasto's virtuoso set design of mirrored panels). Rumanian Director Liviu Ciulei (pronounced Leave-you Chew-lay), artistic director of the Guthrie, never scants the intellectual, philosophical and refreshingly comical ramifications of the play.

The brain likes to read about itself and some of its exploits. How do you explain barbarism, empire-builders, the practice of burying the dead, the birth of religion? How did Magic Men get away with it? A lot of stuff you just assumed " was always there" has its evolution discussed here...
About 80 guests, a quarter of them male, gather in the clubhouse for cocktails (Perrier and bitters), then dinner (coq au vin, 221 calories). Conversation immediately turns to food. "Frozen Milky Way," intones East Coast Type A. A short, wistful silence. "Frozen Haagen-Dazs," invokes Marilynn. All furiously chew their detoxifying greens. "But," says Marilynn, "everyone knows that frozen things have no calories, right?" The table breaks up laughing...
