Kroeker has also produced a phonograph record called Ufa Wa Mtedza (Peanut Flour); its rock songs were composed and sung by Peace Corpsman Jack Allison, who dispenses health hints musically. Sample lyric: "Keep away the flies from your baby's eyes." When not at work, Kroeker, the only U.S. businessman in Malawi, relaxes by climbing nearby Mt. Mlanje (9,843 ft.) or spending time with his Malawian wife and three daughters. Though he hopes to turn Nzeru over to Malawian management "possibly within two years," he plans to stay on. He is thinking of diversifying into other products...
...that other national staple, the hamburger, has picked up an ally in Bess Myerson Grant, New York City's Commissioner of Consumer Affairs. The onetime (1945) Miss America has discovered that burger beef, like hot-dog meat, is being adulterated with all sorts of things: soy proteins, starchy flour, cereal and chemical additives.

Metallic Ring. When the blockade began, scant food reserves were swiftly consumed. Luftwaffe raids on warehouses sent tons of sugar, meat and flour up in smoke. Rations were cut again and again, finally falling to half a pound of bread per day for workers and only two slices (about 150 calories) for children. Citizens grew accustomed to eating library paste, boiled leather, and bread baked with cottonseed cake, even sawdust and cellulose. Cats and dogs swiftly disappeared. Any stray horse was likely to be set upon and butchered on the hoof by starving citizens. In the final stages...
...memo to the designers: Better get back to the old drawing board and quit trying to redo Pat Nixon [Jan. 24]. I predict that increased exposure to her tasteful grooming is going to send not a few medallioned, chain-dangling, flour-faced, sequin-eyelidded, thigh-exposing adult females back to their full-length mirrors...
