...posts abroad and the great increase in travel, has upgraded and greatly widened U.S. food tastes, whetted appetites for exotic new dishes. Many Americans who only ten years ago thought that an artichoke was part of an automobile now serve it regularly at table; Artichoke Industries of Castroville, Calif, froze 2.9 million artichoke hearts this year. Sales of such fancy foods in the U.S. have more than doubled since 1954, last year passed the $100 million mark. Charlie Mortimer put General Foods into the field in 1957 for prestige purposes, now puts out 60 gourmet items from green turtle soup...
...Fish. The chief credit for triggering the great change in U.S. eating habits belongs to a man named Clarence Birdseye, a fur trader, biologist and Yankee tinkerer from Gloucester, Mass. On a trip to Labrador some 40 years ago, Birdseye began to wonder why fish and meat that he froze quickly in the -50° temperature tasted just as good and fresh when he cooked them six months later, while food frozen by the old, slow method lost much of its quality and flavor. Birdseye persisted until he found out why: quick freezing prevents formation of large cell-destroying...
...Clutter house on Sunday morning last week, nobody answered. The only explanation they could think of seemed comically out of character: the normally early-rising Clutters had overslept. Finding the door open, the two girls went inside, ambled upstairs to wake Nancy.

Just where the Watutsis came from, whether from Egypt or Ethiopia, no one can say, but as soon as they made their appearance in what was to become Ruanda and Urundi, their great size (average height: 6 ft. 6 in.) froze the hearts of the tribes already living there. The pygmy Mutwas (average height: 4 ft. 6 in.) quickly became their slaves, and the industrious Muhutus (average height: average) gradually settled down into a kind of serfdom. Though only some 550,000 strong, the tall Watutsis dominated a land of 4,600,000. They dressed themselves in fine togas...
After all its film was exposed, an automatic mechanism set Lunik to spinning again, so that sunlight during its journey would not scorch one side while the other side froze and upset the delicate mechanism inside. Then, having gone around the moon, Lunik swung back toward the earth, began to transmit the pictures. A slow system was used when Lunik was still at a great distance from the earth, a faster system when it came nearer and its signals were easier to receive. The transmission was done by a sort of TV camera that scanned the pictures electronically, line...
