...nation girded itself for its foie du reveillon, the virulent hangover peculiar to Christmas and New Year's, magazines and newspapers were filled with timely tips for the battle-scarred. In addition to stringent post-holiday dieting-for serious crises de foie, doctors recommend total abstinence from meat, eggs, fish, butter, wine, tobacco and coffee-Dr. André Soubiran, writing in the woman's magazine Jours de France, warned readers "your liver needs fresh air," and will invariably be "put in a better humor" if it is taken for a brisk walk, "preferably in a forest...
...become a Roman sellout, he has excised most of the melancholia from the melancholy Dane, replacing it with angry young slang and a revised standard version. "O, that this too too solid flesh would melt," for example, has become "Why doesn't this flesh, this heavy carcass of meat, dissolve?" The play is done in Italian in an almost corner-of-the-mouth modern idiom, with the gravediggers speaking in hoodsy Neapolitan accents and Hamlet's pentametric arias flatted with words like "procrastination" and "bureaucracy...

But in Bonn, the West German Government insisted that the agricultural agreement be worked out in conjunction with the so-called "Kennedy round" - proposed talks on worldwide tariff reductions. The result was a clash of wills...
...relatively superficial problem of fertilizer production-that accounts for the chronic crisis. As Khrushchev's own figures showed, peasants working on their tiny, private half-acre plots, which comprise less than 1% of the arable land, sell to the state 14% of the country's meat, 30% of the eggs, and raise 65% of the cabbages and potatoes...
