...more and more frozen foods and TV dinners, which add 25% to food costs (but really amount to built-in maid service). Restrictive labor union practices contribute to boosting costs. For example, Iowa Beef Processers, Inc. would like to ship all of its meat butchered and boxed; since heavy fat and bones have already been removed, transportation costs are dramatically reduced. In some major urban centers, however, butchers refuse to handle precut meat. They insist on keeping the jobs for themselves, despite higher costs for consumers...
...fini," she lamented. No one seemed more downcast than "Momma Bich," who played hostess during the 1960s to some of the wildest parties ever seen in Saigon's back rooms. U.S. Special Forces troops used to lavish $1,000 apiece on parties that lasted a whole weekend. Now fat and aging (she is 32), Momma is left with $30,000 in lOUs from G.I.s and a flood of bittersweet memories. "I love Special Forces men. They are all crazy and never care about tomorrow.

Social Washington has become like a tax accountants' convention.

From the very moment that President Nixon loosened those controls, Democratic politicians and economists warned that Phase Ill's anti-inflation forces were simply too weak. Last week, when results of the first full month of Phase III were reported in Washington, their predictions turned...
...Robert Atkins, a thin, balding cardiologist and author of the runaway bestseller Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution, was suddenly out of the fat and into the fire. His "revolution" involves eating virtually no starches or sugars. Such a diet supposedly stimulates a group of fat mobilizers, one of which is FMH, a hormone that Atkins claims governs the release of stored fat from body deposits. Now the American Medical Association Council on Foods and Nutrition charges that the diet is "neither new nor revolutionary" and that "no such hormone as FMH has been established in man." Atkins responded that...
