...groups showed the Alar content of U.S. grapefruit to be 0.5 parts per million or less. But since the lab equipment was not accurate enough to measure below that level, this was "equivalent to a finding of no Alar," says Dan Gunter, executive director of Florida's department of citrus. Says he: "Alar is not used on grapefruit." The Korean government declared U.S. grapefruit safe, but American growers fear the sour taste may linger...
...ranch in the rangeland. McAllen lies in the Rio Grande valley, just above the Mexican border, but its architectural boot print owes more to Los Angeles than Lonesome Dove. The city is a sprawling network of commercial strips, trailer parks and low-slung shingle-and-stucco developments ringed by citrus groves and cotton fields.

The fruit-and- vegetable section is personally devastating. Avocados, papayas, kiwis, some kind of citrus thing that gets cut into five-pointed stars, who the hell knows what they all are. We should do something about it, comrades. While they continue to wolf food down like this, good relations between us are impossible...
