...strongest reaction to last week's ruling came from the father-in-law Alfred Kassab, retired vice president of a New Jersey egg retailing company. "It's ludicrous," he said. "Are we to let a triple murderer go loose just because he wasn't tried fast enough?" Kassab implied that he might have to "take justice into my own hands." Of his tenacity there can be little doubt: after initially rejecting the theory that his "all-American" son-in-law had committed the murders, Kassab soon changed his mind and financed an investigation that brought a reopening...
Hardest hit by the high temperatures and drought were American farmers, who were suffering both physically and financially. Chicken farmers and cattle ranchers in the South and Southwest had the heaviest losses.

God created women to provide life with a metaphor for itself, and the name of that life is Death, the name of that life is The Vale of Tears...
...Harvard School of Public Health: "The council is not acting in the best interests of the American people." Representative Fred Richmond of New York, chairman of the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Domestic Marketing, Consumer Relations and Nutrition, even suggested that lobbyists for the food industry-particularly meat, dairy and egg producers-"must have been at work here...
