Before the scare, the American cattle industry had been doing well. That was true at nearly every level in the complex chain that starts at the bottom rung with the cantankerous collection of cow-calf ranchers, who sell to feedlot operators, who in turn sell to giant corporate packers like Cargill Meat Sector. After several tough years, profits suddenly exploded this fall as the wholesale price of beef soared to a record high of $120 per 100 lbs.--a 50% increase in one year...
DIED. ALAN BATES, 69, bluff, beguiling English actor; of pancreatic cancer; in London. A modest giant bestriding nearly a half-century of excellence, the Derbyshire lad co-starred at 22 in the original London stage production of Look Back in Anger.

...works on display are pieces designed for the 1878 Universal Exhibition, including an ornate enameled Turkish coffee set. There's a huge showcase full of vases, dishes and stemware commissioned by personages ranging from Emperor Mutsuhito of Japan to Jazz Age entertainer Josephine Baker. In one room, a giant candelabra ordered by Czar Nicholas II stands next to chairs designed for Indian maharajas. Another features a surreal canopy (pictured) painted by French artist G?rard Garouste, inspired by the symbols of alchemy: air, water, earth and fire. Throughout the museum, Starck contrasts the sumptuous and the simple. In the tableware showroom...
