...Walter W. Morrison, 29, who began organizing his enterprise in 1969 while still attending the University of Virginia Law School. During the summer he served as a clerk in a 15-man Hartford firm and occasionally came into contact with lawyers from smaller firms. "Their hours," he observed, "are eaten up by running an office and gathering the facts on a case...
Medical statistics are admittedly imprecise, and are distorted by improvements in diagnosis. Nevertheless, Burkitt and his colleagues believe that the increases in these diseases are real, and were caused by a change in the type of food eaten in developed countries, particularly in food that reaches the large bowel with the least change: indigestible fiber, the roughest of roughage. Until about 1890, they say, the pound of bread that average Britons and Americans ate every day contained much indigestible fiber; because of more elaborate milling techniques, bread now contains less fiber and people are eating less of it. This...
...Shiang can be translated into English, it probably means "spicy." The food there is quite unlike what you've eaten at most other conventional Chinese restaurants. It's not that the chef at the Su-Shiang gets a sadistic threill out of seeing his customers reach for the water glass, but rather that authentic Szechuan-Hunam-style food does not have that bland taste that characterizes so many Chinese-American dishes.

...foreign report was even worse. Population growth, compounded by serious droughts in Africa and Asia, has literally eaten up all the increased food output achieved by poor nations over the past decade, leaving their citizens as ill fed as ever, the experts found. To bridge the gap, McGovern recommended that the U.S. set up a $20 billion "Plowshares for Peace" program that would build stockpiles of food for needy nations to draw on. That is another idea that seems unlikely to be adopted: Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz, who will present the Nixon Administration's proposals for solving world food...
...Beginning Was the End (Praeger; $7.95), the enthusiasm of Author Oscar Kiss Maerth spills over in red ink. The book, subtitled Man came into being through cannibalism-intelligence can be eaten, bears all the markings of pristine eccentricity: a big theme, a closed system of self-perpetuating logic, a disdain for accepted thought, no specific scientific references, no index and no bibliography. Kiss Maerth, who is described as a man born in Yugoslavia who spent many years in a Chinese Buddhist monastery and now lives at Lake Como, seems never to have heard of Lamarckian biology, T.D. Lysenko...
