...people doubt, either, that the program nationally has played a valuable part in dramatically reducing American hunger and malnutrition in recent years. But the inflation of the late 1970s reached an intolerable point, dictating an effort to chop the huge budget deficits that have been feeding it. In the view of David Stockman, Reagan's chief budget slasher, school lunch subsidies are "a perfect example of an entitlement program that should be reviewed.

Senators, Congressmen and outside experts hammered away. Quit slicing at the regular appropriations, some said, and go after the big entitlements like Social Security.

When Bartlett pears are in season, they have the best flavor. Fresh strawberries and raspberries...

Artifacts include gleaming jade cutting stones, gold razor blades to chop the coke crystals and tiny brown bottles for sniffing (an antique gold Tiffany snuff bottle capable of holding two grams sold for $28,000 in Beverly Hills last year to an Iranian). Items like silver and gold sniffing spoons are flaunted on chains around the users' necks. The process of spreading the coke on a table in "lines" for sniffing is as elaborate and careful...
