...explore new agricultural techniques such as irradiation, genetic engineering and fertilizers made out of recycled sewage. The first major legal test of the food-disparagement laws will be a Texas lawsuit, in which a group of cattle ranchers have sued Oprah Winfrey for a show she did on mad-cow disease. States where you risk a suit if you scoff at the squash...
...truck rumbles into the pasture, a bovine maternity ward. Here a gawky newborn nuzzles its mother; there a fetal head and two hooves peek from the hindquarters of a cow that's ambling, wholly unconcerned, through the field.

Along with 12 other ranchers, cattle feeder Paul Engler (who lost $6.7 million as a result) is now suing Winfrey under a 1995 Texas law that protects agricultural products from slander. Her fateful words? "It has just stopped me cold from eating another burger!" No point in horsing around. Winfrey may be able to settle...
