...reason flowers are selling fast is that they are now available in so many places besides traditional florist shops. They are sprouting in grocery stores, in malls, on street corners. The Cincinnati-based Kroger chain has put flower sections in almost 60% of its 1,351 supermarkets. At the Apache mall in Rochester, Minn., Bachman's, a prominent Minnesota florist, runs a row of well-stocked kiosks called the European Flower Markets, where customers can shop without passing through any doors. And in Miami, New York and other cities, traffic-dodging vendors hawk $2 bunches to motorists who are willing...
...Jacksons are unsettled by the neighbors' treason, but for the lonely, timid wife Barbara (Rosemary Harris) the personal betrayal cuts far more deeply. She has almost no friends other than Helen Kroger (Dana Ivey), and cannot bear the thought that Helen has lied to her and feigned devotion. In torment, Barbara rages at the snoopers: Spying on spies, she rants, is the moral equivalent of spying. She aches with desire to tell Helen to flee.

Very quickly, the young Iranian learned that the casual shopping habits of the market stalls in his own country were not those of suspicious American supermarkets...
...BETTER AT A & P, insists the latest ad slogan of the not-so-Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., whose $7.2 billion in sales make it the nation's third largest supermarket chain (after Safeway and Kroger). Last week one of West Germany's largest food retailers unexpectedly took the 120-year-old company at its word. The private Tengelmann Group made a friendly deal to pay $78.5 million to four holders of A & P stock, including heirs of the founding Hartford family,* for their 42% controlling interest in the ailing giant...
