THIS SPECULATION leads to the prophecies of a Cassandra, but the prospect of statehood does evoke ghoulish images. The cruellest trick for exterminating coyotes on the western ranges is to freeze a compressed spring inside a chunk of horsemeat. When the greedy animal gulps it down, his body heat melts the ice and the spring expands, piercing his stomach. It may seem expedient now to offer statehood to Puerto Rico rather than be discredited internationally as colonialists; to many Puerto Ricans it seems equally comfortable to be swallowed by the wealthiest best on earth. Ford could go down in history...
...many, it was a disconcerting experience. In McCandless, Pa., four-year-old Heather Campbell, awakened in the morning by her mother, asked: "Why are we going to bed so late?" At the Chicago Zoological Park in Brookfield, keepers had to wake up the wolves for their Sunday dinner of horsemeat and ground turkey. In Puerto Rico, which stayed on standard time, hundreds of tourists missed their scheduled planes to the mainland because the airlines had adopted the new time schedule, and they had to be flown home aboard special flights.

The cuts have the same names and shapes as beef but cost half as much. The savings will grow when beef prices shoot up again next month...
...following meatless recipes. If their husbands remain meat chauvinists and insist on steak, they are served smaller portions-and sometimes they get something else when they think that they are eating beef. A housewife in Portland, Ore., revealed in a newspaper interview that she had been feeding her husband horsemeat for three years. Had he known it was horse? He had not, but having tried it, he liked it. Reading of this, people raced to the J & H Horsemeat Market, where they stood in line for as long as three hours. The owner, Ed Carroll, sold more than...
