...that people who live near sprayed areas are not the only ones who may suffer from the continued use of this herbicide. Matthew Meselson, professor of Biology at Harvard, published an alarming study showing that dioxin is present in beef fat at levels that have killed laboratory animals. Cattle graze on the sprayed rangelands and ingest the herbicide. He also found disturbingly high levels of dioxin in mothers' milk which may poison nursing children. While Meselson cautions that his study involves too small a sampling to be conclusive, he is nevertheless concerned about the continued use of the herbicide...
With her waiflike face and small person (she does quite graze 5 ft. 4 in.; she weighs around 93 lbs.), Gelsey is an enchanting soubrette, delightful as Swanilda in Coppélia or, more recently, as Clara in Baryshnikov's A.B.T. production of The Nutcracker.

They all lived in a time called by the field's newshounds 'the new mood of the meadow.' After they lived at Vard for four years Derek the Duck branded a big V on their sheepskin and sent them off into the world outside the meadow...
...Speaker Tip O'Neill, along with the seven-member subcommittee that studied the matter for the House, is adamant that the House should keep the cameras under its own supervision. Television, O'Neill and many other members sense, is too potent a presence to be allowed to graze freely amid such lush Americana. "I've talked to the Speaker of the Australian Parliament [which also televises] and the Speaker of the Canadian Parliament," says O'Neill. "They both told me: 'Don't let it out of your own control...
