...Nixon will lake to the TV screens and ask, as an ultimate post-Lenten sacrifice, for his fellow Americans simply to stop eating. In an ad for a Washington supermarket chain, Esther Peterson, who had been Lyndon Johnson's consumer affairs adviser, appealed to consumers to buy fish, fowl, eggs and other substitutes for costly meat...
...Mexico City, the Kid dons a red kerchief, a string of Shango beads and pours cologne at the fighter's feet while conga drummers beat out a petition to the gods. A live chicken is always brought into the dressing room before the fight. Was there a fowl in the Forum? Rapidez, certain that Yankees will not understand, only gazes heavenward. But a friend is less reticent. "You can bet there was a chicken somewhere in the Forum that night," he says. "Maybe not in the dressing room, but somewhere...

Continuing discharges into the river will flow into the bay, disrupting...

Sadly, Paris inevitably outgrew its inefficient and costly belly; two years ago, most operations were moved to a shiny new complex at Rungis near Orly Airport. That move left the problem of what to do with a dozen huge cast-iron-and-glass pavilions that made...
