...food, the detective on the case suspects that the best of the rustled nags are sold for as much as 400 per lb. (large stallions bring $450), trucked to Canada, butchered and shipped to Europe. There, horse meat is welcomed by discriminating continental eaters, who consider it juicier, tastier and more tender than expensive beef. France has more than 1,000 boucheries hippophagiques (horse meat shops); some restaurants in Belgium and Switzerland specialize in horse meat. The taste for steak á la dobbin has not crossed the Channel to Britain, however, where a horse is just a horse, rather than...
...Rockefeller commission's report on the Central Intelligence Agency is something of a vindication for the New York Times, which broke the story of CIA domestic spying in an article last Dec. 22 by Investigative Reporter Seymour Hersh. Yet for months the Times sat on an even juicier part of the CIA story-President Ford's concern over the agency's alleged role in foreign assassination plots-but chose not to print it.

...Founder Bernard Cornfeld finished manipulating and misusing the Geneva-based IOS mutual fund complex in 1970, it was a wonder that there were any assets left to drain off.

Kennedy Theater for Children. Naturally he would have preferred a juicier role−Scrooge, for instance. "I'd be the best Scrooge in town," said New York City's Mayor John V. Lindsay, currently engaged in cutting back city salaries and jobs in an economy campaign. "If I'm described by people that way, I might as well play the part...
...should be a record yield-about 314 million hundredweight for the year. The hops of Oregon's Willamette Valley are in the sacks. The agribusiness entrepreneurs of California's San Joaquin Valley have had another good year in cotton. The peaches of Comus, Md., have rarely been juicier. Helminthosporium maydis-the wind-borne spore of Southern corn blight-has appeared in the richest corn fields of the American breadbasket, and the damage has been serious. Yet the U.S. will still have the third best corn crop in its history...
