What goes better with a Big Mac? Apparently Classic Coke. Only a year after Coca- Cola introduced the new, sweeter version of its formula to a chorus of consumer boos, McDonald's announced last week that it is joining the growing list of restaurants, including Hardee's, Roy Rogers and Kentucky Fried Chicken, that are switching back to the older version of the soft drink. The changeover at McDonald's will be completed by the end of the month. Said Spokesman Robert Keyser: "We want to offer our customers what they prefer." According to the most recent national sales data...

In the pages that follow, Cevaal...
...SIXTEEN DANCERS enter into the wide open clearing formed by the audience seated on the floor who become, like the chorus in classic epic, the inclusive margins of the ritualized performance. Throughout the evening, which proceeds largely in the fashion of oral narrative, the audience is incited to sing, cheer, lament, and otherwise express on cue their sympathies for the story being "made" in their midst. At the end, following the shamanistic purging performed by the women's "Dance of Life," the shamans invite members of the audience to join in the final frenzied clamor of the nan-jang...
