...treaty; the U.S. resisted, contending that it had no right to negotiate about German weapons. Also, the Soviets insistently asked what the U.S. would do with the warheads. A way out of the impasse appeared Tuesday night as the two delegations were enjoying a picnic supper (hamburgers, fried chicken, baked beans) on a 65-ft. barge cruising down the Potomac. National Security Adviser Frank Carlucci drew Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Bessmertnykh aside. Said Carlucci: "Best I can understand it, we do the same thing with warheads you do." Replied Bessmertnykh: "Yes, that's right...
...drumsticks at 20 paces and no chickening out as Dinah Shore and Frank Perdue square off in what history may record as the Great American Chicken War. Looking to outstrut each other as they winged into New York City last week, both hawked new supermarket products -- cooked chicken, prepared in a variety of cuts and seasonings and all dubbed fresh despite an avowed ten-to- 17-day shelf life. Ducking questions about whether a week-old roast chicken could be considered truly fresh, Perdue and Shore made it plain that in this case the term means not frozen and, presumably...
With their ready-to-eat chicken products, the fowl combatants hope to pluck some feathers from such fast-food chains as McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's. "They have siphoned off about 20% of supermarket poultry sales in the past five years," estimates Kent Hill, a marketing executive for Holly Farms.

Restricting flavors to plain, with a piquant hot-and-spicy variation for chicken wings, the Perdue line, like Holly Farms, offers parts and whole roasted chickens. Perdue also has breaded tenders (fillets of breast) and nuggets, as well as cutlets that are formed of boned, cut-up white meat. So far nuggets are the biggest sellers, popular especially with college students and singles...
Madelon Fuller's childhood memories of Waxahachie, Texas (pop. 18,560), include chasing fireflies, catching crawdads and eating plenty of fried okra, gravy-soaked chicken-fried steak and eggs. Not surprisingly, Fuller's cholesterol level went into orbit -- 324 mg per 100 ml of blood, in contrast to an optimal level of 200 mg -- and by age 44 she had had triple-bypass surgery. She went on a restrictive diet, and her cholesterol level plunged. But her arteries were still choking. Early this year her doctor suggested adding an experimental drug called lovastatin to her regimen. Within four months...
