Though Inter-Continental also operates sumptuous establishments on such beaten paths as Geneva, Dublin, Frankfurt and Vienna, most of its 36 hotels have altered the skyline of such places as Abidjan, Amman, Bali, Bangkok, Djakarta, Monrovia and Dacca. The formula-an oasis in the ham-and-egg-less desert-has proved so successful that last week workmen were busy with major expansions of six InterContinental hotels. Completely new additions to the chain were rising at Lahore and Rawalpindi in Pakistan, Nicaragua's Managua, and Auckland, N.Z. This month the company will break ground in Manila, and architects are drafting...
...verify that the behavior of the two Egyptian vultures was no fluke, the Van Lawicks set out two ostrich eggs at a site some 60 miles away and sat back to see who would cast the first stone. Sure enough, the eggs were promptly attacked by two mature, stone-hurling Egyptian vultures, which aimed wildly, often pausing to threaten each other. After the pair finally had cracked and eaten the eggs, an Egyptian vulture that was lower in the social pecking order approached one of the empty shells and peppered it with 30 rocks, perhaps practicing for the day when...

Her specialty was omelets, and for a while she held forth at her own restaurant, the Egg Basket; now she fills in by doing the cooking at the Ginger Man, a fashionable pub near Lincoln Center...
...pastime, the gargantuan fare of yesteryear is hard to digest, even in imagination. First to use an element of scientific method in home cooking was Mrs. D. A. Lincoln, whose 1883 Boston Cook Book introduced accurate measurements, explained, for instance, that a piece of "butter the size of an egg" was equal to 2 oz., or one-fourth of a cup. But it remained for one of her students, Fannie Farmer, who borrowed freely (and without credit) from Mrs. Lincoln, to make her precepts into national guidelines with The Boston Cooking School Cook Book, published...
