...late 1980s? For several years, inflation has seemed like a vanquished problem of another era. Price increases during the past half-decade have been remarkably small, never more than 5% annually. Vigilant economists have spotted warning signs from time to time but never any present danger. Now, however, comes fresh evidence that inflation may be making a comeback at a time when it could play havoc with the aging economic expansion and the new Administration. A serious rise in prices would force the Federal Reserve to fight back by pushing interest rates higher, which runs the risk of choking...

A presidential predilection for the crunchy puffs of pigskin is bringing fresh popularity to what was previously regarded as a regional delicacy of the South. The snack is made by cooking small pieces of pigskin and dunking the shrunken pellets in fat heated to 400 degrees F. At that point they explode like popcorn...
