...SWIM TEAM goes out to eat, they always do it in a big way, and after trouncing Yale they dined in especially fine style. Courtesy of BETTY IPPOLITO--last year's softball captain--the entire team descended upon the Ippolito restaurant in Connecticut for a lavish banquet consisting of eggplant parmesan, sausage and meatballs, salad coleslaw, potato salad, breads, chocolate cake, carrot cake and pitches of beer. Not contest to totally satiate the aquawomen, Mr. Ippolito disappeared into the kitchen where he made eggplant parmesan and meatball sandwiches for the short file back to Cambridge. "You always with later that...
Barely a mile from Yamit, at the cooperative farm of Moshav Sadot, the Sinai's sandy hinterland has been transformed into a verdant cornucopia. Tomato, eggplant and pepper plants, mango and lichee nut trees are nourished in long rows by painstaking drip irrigation. Collective farmers like those of Moshav Sadot are demanding at least half of the estimated $2.2 billion-or 13% of the 1981 national budget-that Israel has set aside as compensation for the Sinai settlers.

More turbans and tarbooshes now, more Arabs, as well as the eggplant-black Dinkas, and purple Nuer with carved stripes that circled their foreheads under the hairline, and Shilluk with beadlike cicatrices stretching from...
Just when Washington is trying to cultivate warmer relations with oil-rich Mexico, a decade-old trade row over winter vegetables threatens to erupt again. Responding to complaints from some Florida growers, the Treasury Department has begun investigating whether Mexican exports of tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, squash and cucumbers have been "dumped" in the U.S.-that is, sold at prices below their cost of production. Should the Mexicans be found guilty of violating the antidumping law they would have to pay duties on their produce to cover the margin of dumping. The issue is hot.
