...Detectable Plan. Inside, the Observer scattered, according to no detectable pattern, a clutch of articles, feature stories, puzzles, pictures, cartoons, weather maps and poetry (including all 60 lines of John Greenleaf Whittier's Barbara Frietchie).

Another result: 32 chicken rotisserie stores have opened in Beirut since 1958, and 64 more await licenses. Greenleaf also sells chicks to local farmers who want to learn how to raise quality egg-layers or well-fattened roosters...
