Good autobiographers should have happy childhoods, when the nightingales were singing in the orchards of their mothers. Robert Strausz-Hupé is such a one. His childhood was a hazy idyl of life in old Vienna, of goose-liver breakfasts on the paternal estate in Hungary. This Eden soon closed its gates, but at 62 he still has a vivid memory of what life was like on the sunny side of the great watershed of World...

The Chief, wearing a pair of rubber gloves, scissors a long smooth cut in the skin, "exposes the large, red-black liver and unwinds the immaculate bow els. Steam rises.

And, for his money, the Chock Full O' Nuts sandwich chain rates high indeed-although he reports sadly that during the past two years its frankfurters have gone into a decline...

Cain, gave added evidence that the gall bladder contained stones. Since some bile always passes directly through the common duct from the liver to the duodenum, and the duct seems able to develop some storage capacity of its own, man can live without his gall bladder. Thus surgery to remove the offending organ (cholecystectomy), far from being a desperate last resort was the doctors' first choice...
