...miserable 7.1%, this year's first quarter showed a 9% expansion in industrial output. More heartening to Kosygin & Co. was the record production of meat and butter, showing that the catastrophic crop failure of 1963 had been surmounted. Another sign of agricultural recovery was the issuing of flour-rationed since the end of 1963-to Moscow housewives for the Russian Orthodox Easter holidays...
President Johnson immediately offered U.S. assistance, and Frei responded with a request for "flour, condensed milk for children, and vehicles to transport water." Yet Chile's President did not ask-or expect-a massive infusion of emergency funds. He intends to float a special bond issue at home to finance reconstruction, thus leaving the $1 billion national budget intact. "We cannot appeal to the world every four years to help us lift ourselves from the ground," he said. "We Chileans ourselves will raise the towns that were destroyed...
...consult the tables to avoid ordering lima beans (15 gm. of carbohydrate to an average serving) instead of green beans (a mere 3 gm.). Afterward, they claim, it will be easy to run down the menu and pick poached filet of sole, champagne sauce-"perhaps one gram for the flour in the sauce; highly recommended"-or filet mignon, béarnaise sauce-"one gram for the eggs; no danger here."

And he didn't have to fabricate a medieval cobbled-street market, a walled village, or a 12th century Romanesque castle: all were within kilometers of his set. Which left most of his rigid $1,000,000 budget for casting...
...York Court of Appeals warily rejected the idea in the case of a pretty girl whose picture had been used without her consent to advertise a flour company's wares. The New York legislature soon changed that rule by a statute allowing damages for such invasions of privacy. And in 1904 the Georgia Supreme Court set the controlling judicial precedent by ruling in favor of a young man whose picture was similarly used by a life insurance company. Today, the right to privacy is specifically rejected in only three states (Texas, Wisconsin, Rhode Island); it is recognized in some...
