...policeman tried to raise Melvin's head from the kitchen floor; gently, Melvin ordered him not to, and braced his feet against a wall to ease his agony. While being carried to an ambulance on a stretcher, Loujean opened her eyes. Said she to a policeman: "Please feed the baby plain milk. No formula...
...stick to principles; if we did, Hor Lung should really be hanged." Instead of hangings, the terrorists have the offer of substantial rewards for surrendering, and for going back into the jungle to spot other guerrillas. So far, the government has paid out $165,000 in such rewards, chicken feed beside the peak $87,600,000 that the British spent one year fighting the guerrillas. Even Hor Lung had apparently found a little bribery-rumored to be $50,000-irresistible. "He is." admitted the Prime Minister, "now richer than...
...Probably not, because only a minute proportion of Brazil's beeves have been fattened with the aid of hormones.

Virtually none can ever be found in the meat if the hormone feeding is stopped (as required under U.S. regulations) 48 hours before slaughter...
...Jefferson Andrade dos Santos, kept the steak furor sizzling by reporting that they had fed hormone-treated meat to animals with startling results: spayed females went into heat again, and normal males became infertile or impotent.

From the neck, unabsorbed pellets might slip into an edible cut and thence into an unsuspecting customer...

Corruption, cynicism and maladministration have dulled the nation's spirit. India still produces more babies than it does food to feed them. (Its population increases at the rate of about 5,000,000 a year, nullifying all gains in agricultural productivity.) Money that could help prop the economy goes into the military budget in fear of a possible war with Pakistan over Kashmir...
