...half, to 521 million lbs. As late as October 1971, yellowtail flounder (commonly served in East Coast restaurants as sole) brought 6? per lb. at New Bedford's daily fish auctions; last week the price was 85?. Now, says one New Bedford fisherman, "with the foreign invaders gone, perhaps our industry can grow a little." Seven spanking new steel-stern trawlers, worth upwards of $250,000 each, have already appeared alongside New Bedford's mostly wooden, archaic vessels. There are even predictions that the annual catch off New England might triple in as little as five years...
...funeral service in Mary's kitchen for a sports coach who had drowned in a bowl of chicken soup. "I just thought it was off-the-wall funny," says Lear. "When I told my wife Frances about the idea, she said, 'Norman, this time you've gone too far-even for you.' But it worked. It was funny." So funny that the New York Times's critic called it "ten minutes of the most hilarious TV that is likely to be seen this year." The scripts may be uneven, but the show boasts an infectiously...

Flogging a book before it is written may have its advantages, but it also has its dangers. The writer could get so intoxicated with publicity that he might forget he has to write...
...speedily became apparent that few of the witnesses had actually read the bill's 50 pages. The bill would put the nation much farther into the business of economic planning than it has ever gone: the President would be required every year to present a program to Congress that would set numerical goals for jobs, production and purchasing power, and tailor federal programs to achieve that end. Some parts of the bill also are internally inconsistent. One section would require the Government to spend as much as necessary-estimates range from a low of $12 billion...
Since Bustos Domecq does not exist, Argentine Authors Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy-Casares had to invent him. Why? Because Domecq is the pure incarnation of the middleman between a world gone culturally haywire and the uncomprehending mass of mankind. His function: telling people why they should admire nonsense. This inept critic is a figure of Chaplinesque pathos: a tastemaker totally lacking in taste, a perpetual target of the avant-garde's custard pies...
