Last week he brought a $122 million damage suit against Heublein, Inc., which controls Kentucky Fried. Not that he really needs the money. The Colonel in 1964 sold the system, as well as his "secret formula" and his "Finger Lickin' Good" slogan for $2 million, and earns $250,000 a year from TV commercials, salary ($40,000, now paid by Heublein) and other activities. He charges that Heublein has been pressuring potential purchasers of Claudia Sanders franchises. He claims that Heublein scared away his first prospect by threatening legal action for infringement of trademarks. Heublein retorts that the suit...
Osaka (617 Concord Ave.) is not to be missed for Japanese finger lickin' sensations, but watch your prices because you're liable to go overboard. Its sushi, or raw fish, is worth the splurge--they say it's better than what Japan itself would give you. The teppanyaki or sukiyaki might be less strange to taste buds geared only to the Western way. The Korean dishes at Matsuya (1768a Mass Ave.) pull sore second, but that's no insult.

...ives and sesame sauce. The gyro, a Greek concoction of lamb, tomato and onion, has pre-empted the frankfurter's place on many Eastern city streets. On both coasts, the Mexican taco has become a short-order staple. Soul food has gone national. Colonel Sanders' finger-lickin' Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets now number 3,500.

(Any of those foods many contain additives, too, but they have not yet been in the Nader pressure cooker...
Austrian-born Friedrich Jahn is Europe's answer to Howard Johnson, or maybe Colonel Sanders. Through his chicken-lickin' Wienerwald restaurants, which have spread across Europe and into the U.S., he works to satisfy a hungry middle class. The chain grossed $115 million last year and should do at least 10% better this year. Last month Jahn opened new outposts in Vienna and Nuremberg; he plans others in Scandinavia, Britain and South Africa. "I wouldn't be surprised," he says, "if one day there is a Wienerwald in Nigeria or Kenya...
Georgia's constitution bars the state's Governor from succeeding himself, so it was time last week for headline-happy Lester Maddox to leave the $3,000,000 Governor's mansion he built, step down to the lieutenant governorship and garner some finger-lickin' sweet publicity in the process. He invited folks to drop in and say goodbye-and 5,000 of them came. He dramatized the fact that the Lieutenant Governor is not provided with a car by riding his bicycle seven miles to the state capitol. And he announced some plans for augmenting...
