...before in the city's worst violence to date, and neither side gave up any key positions during last week's ceasefire. Christian Phalangists did leave some of the luxury hotels they had occupied in downtown Beirut but held on to the rocket-battered 26-story Holiday Inn. Leftists refused to budge from their commanding perch in the nearby 30-story, unfinished Murr Tower. Public cynicism about the cease-fire deepened when Karami's attempt to collect heavy weapons from both sides produced nothing. Kidnaping continued, and snipers killed ten on the third day of the truce...
...story Murr Tower, Beirut's tallest building, leftist Moslems fired a lethal .50-cal. Chinese machine gun at anything that moved in the center of the city. Some five blocks north, in the gilded Corniche area on the Mediterranean, right-wing Christian Phalangist forces occupied the Holiday Inn and other hotels and began firing from the luxury bedrooms in a desperate effort to hold ground.

A management study shows that 70% of the steak eaters among its customers have ordered the smaller cuts, and 65% of the shrimp fanciers have chosen the less hearty portion. Last summer Billy Martin's Carriage House in Washington, D.C., introduced smaller portions for smaller prices...
Slimmer Waistlines. The trend has Government encouragement-indeed prodding. Nancy Harvey Steorts, special assistant for consumer affairs to Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, advanced the idea a year ago in a speech to the National Association of Meat Purveyors and shortly after persuaded the Camelback Inn to test the plan. Since then she has traveled round the country evangelizing smaller portions. She argues that they will help consumers slim their waistlines and cut food bills, bolster restaurant profits by selling additional dinners, and that "the tiniest bit of wasted food cannot be justified when an estimated 1½ billion people...
