Regular merchants complain that the new markets cut sorely into business. In the Motor City, for instance, more and more residents are doing all their food shopping on weekends at the sprawling Detroit market. Says Nowal Makhoul, owner of a local fruit market: "Without the Detroit market, we'd be booming. With it, it's a real struggle." In Nashville, Tenn., merchants once tried strenuously-but unsuccessfully -to close down market stalls as violations of zoning regulations...
...yogurt culture, yet there is no federal standard for the bacterial count. If the yogurt is pasteurized, as it sometimes is, the bacteria are killed. Freezing inhibits their growth. The calorie content depends on whether the yogurt is made from skim milk or whole milk and what kind of fruit and sweetening is added. "Yogurt is not like ketchup, which all tastes the same," explains Edward Gelsthorpe, president of H.P. Hood dairy. "It can go all the way from a very tart, thick product to a sweet, mild, creamy product, to a drink or a solid...
...most imposing symbol was the Eiffel Tower, erected when Robert Delaunay was four years old: now a venerable cliche of tourism, but to Parisians then the tallest structure on earth and a cathedral of modernity. "The Eiffel Tower is my fruit-dish," Delaunay liked to say, in a dig at cubist still life. From 1909 onward, he painted it at least 30 times: close up or on the skyline, seen from above or below, aggressively sharp or half-dissolved in mists of color, broken, dislocated, twisting upward, a veritable Tower of Babel. No painter had dealt with this emblem...
Archaeology of Newness. To understand Delaunay's modernity one has to realize how old-fashioned the subject matter of cubism was. Picasso or Braque's still lifes, with their tilted cafe tables, guitars, fruit and playing cards, were scarcely different as subjects from those of Caravaggio or Chardin. Despite a few contemporary intrusions (newspaper headlines, printed tickets, linoleum), the subjects of cubism were classical, traditional. They ignored the technology, whose scale, speed, ingenuity and arrogant newness so captivated poets like Guillaume Apollinaire, Filippo Marinetti and Blaise Cendrars, or painters like Fernand Léger, Francis Picabia -and Delaunay...
...Rotting Fruit. With that kind of leverage, it is not surprising that the cannery workers last week won a hefty 32½% wage and benefit increase over the next three years. By the time of the expected settlement, unfortunately, a staggering amount of food will already have rotted in the fields. Almost 15%, or $10.4 million worth, of the clingstone-peach harvest was lost. So was approximately 5%, or $9.5 million worth, of the thick-skinned tomato crop and about 30% of the total apricot harvest, valued at $4.5 million...
