George Papandreou was prepared to wait-or so it seemed. He had a long memory-and a sharp knife for opponents. "This third palace fabrication," he maintained, will have "an ephemeral life.

Said Kinzel: "Get away from the idea that a steak is a steak is just a steak.' He suggested that a laser beam instead of a knife be used to cut meat with tissue-thin precision and that special blades patterned after the cryogenic needles now used in brain surgery be used to cut and cauterize at the same time. He believes that superhot temperatures can be employed to create new meat textures. Chemicals could also introduce...
