...dangerous-a truism that Americans are rediscovering in a rather special sense during the 1968 presidential campaign. They are doing so with the help of George Wallace. The Alabamian is gaining so many votes, says one happy Southern Congressman, that he is now as strong as "50 acres of horseradish." Other Congressmen are appalled at the possible result: the Wallace phenomenon may throw the election into the House of Representatives. The outcome could foil most voters' wishes and upset the two-party system in Congress. To House Majority Whip Hale Boggs, "the idea is absolute anarchy...
...corporation now active abroad was even organized, Heinz had important foreign sales. That early phase of the company's operation began the day in 1885 when Founder Henry Heinz walked into London's Fortnum & Mason, sold Britain's most prestigious grocer a line of Heinz horseradish, pickles, and ketchup. From that beginning, Heinz eventually established a thriving British company, ended up selling its 57 varieties in 150 nations. The company sold so well, in fact, that it pushed British per-capita annual consumption of baked beans to 11.5 Ibs. -twice the U.S. input. Foreign sales increased steadily...
...Hunting Horseradish. He is fond of citing the state's illustrious sons and daughters, mentioning the only Hoosier President, Benjamin Harrison, in the same breath as Marjorie Main, Jimmy Hoffa, John Dillinger and Eugene Debs.

He brings up that other literary figure, one James Buchanan Elmore, author of the lines: "My wife has gone ahunting/ Horseradish...
...Jewish community faltered so badly in this moment of international crisis. The obvious solution was to proceed with the banquet at some notable Jewish restaurant, such as Gluckstern's or Poliacoff's. After feasting on chicken soup with matzoth balls, gefilte fish, and boiled beef with horseradish, it is inconceivable that one drop of animosity toward Israel could remain in Feisal's kingly body. To consolidate this initial victory, I would have suggested a Matzoth Balls for Feisal Fund, by means of which periodic shipments of matzoth balls and chicken soup would be sent to Feisal whenever...
...your laundry delivered at the Pump and then lose your shirt at Horse, a tough, three-handed card game. Pinochle players have their own corner; the Euchre Club meets Wednesday night. Pool shooters have their table (darts are too damn dangerous). You can buy farm-fresh eggs or homemade horseradish, or leave messages on the bulletin board. No voluptuous nude behind the bar here; there is a slightly salacious wall mural painted by a customer of long ago. Summertime finds a horseshoe court set up on the edge of the parking lot, with a picnic table for kibitzers hiding...
