Reporters from all 53 news organizations had signed up for the tour, so they had to divide into two groups. The first section flew north in a battered Israelimade Arava. At El Zorro, a Bolivian official proudly pointed to sacks that appeared to contain white flour and knowingly murmured, "Cocaine." Actually, it was flour. Later the reporters piled into their plane -- then piled out when the fully loaded craft was unable to take off from the makeshift 300-foot runway. After being shuttled to a more suitable airstrip, they lifted off and returned to Trinidad. At that point, antsy members...
Some bakeries boast that their dough is based on a secret family recipe. Others admit that they buy a premixed flour formula.

Pasta, it seems, is the perfect food for our time, prized by gourmands for reasons purely hedonistic and by nutritionists as a healthful source of energizing, low-fat, complex carbohydrates...
They both agreed something called Gunk was good for grease. And Julie Moore had an insider's tip: white flour. "After the Nevr-Dull, coat a dry, clean rag with white flour, and it's half the buffing job. We've about been thrown out of the hangar because I get flour all over the place...
