NORA ORIOLI-D'Arcy, 1091 Madison Ave. at 82nd. Although she is known in her native Italy as a social realist, Nora Orioli seems more a pleasant genre painter, to judge from these picaresque and pastoral scenes that spring from lean, refracted layers of gloomy paint covered with glaze. Through...
...before, and the $14 billion meat-packing industry is patting its tummy with satisfaction. This year Americans will consume more than 32 billion Ibs. of beef, pork, veal and lamb, or 170 Ibs. per person. The meat packers are ready for the rush. The past few years have been lean ones for the industry, which suffered from inefficiency, slowness to change, and overcapacity created by allegiance to outdated methods of processing and marketing.

Though a native Californian, Gerdes has a utility man's notions about the profitability of bad weather. "We like it wet and dark," he says, "and the colder the better...
...Chicken Feed. Even the independent carriers lean heavily on a few customers. The Bath & Hammondsport in upstate New York does practically all of its business hauling wines from the state's wine district. The Camino, Placerville & Lake Tahoe, which clears about $6,000 annually, services two northern California sawmills. The Virginia Blue Ridge Railway, only 17 miles long, does most of its business hauling bulk freight for a quarry and an American Cyanamid plant in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains...
