...staff and to aerospace contractors. ¶ In our cover story on "French Chef" Julia Child (Nov. 25, 1966) we used a picture of her butcher, Jack Savenor, of Cambridge, Mass. A Swift & Co. wholesaler in Illinois read the story, made an arrangement to supply the butcher with meat at a substantial discount so the dealer could put a sign on his plant saying "We supply Julia Child." Since Butcher Savenor was identified in our story his sales have increased tenfold-from 1,500 Ibs. to 15,000 Ibs. of meat per week...

While there seems plenty of fruit in Canton, meat and vegetables are scarce, despite the richness of the surrounding country, indicating a breakdown in China's system of food distribution. Outside the city, troops with fixed bayonets guard every bridge and railroad switching point...
...when America got its first glimpse of them live on the Ed Sullivan Show. Only once did they show a serious lapse in taste: the cover of their 1966 album Yesterday and Today was a photograph of the four wearing butchers' smocks and laden with chunks of raw meat and the bodies of decapitated dolls. Reaction in the U.S. was so violent that Capitol Records pulled it off the market, explaining that it was a misguided attempt at "pop-art satire...
