Harry tracks his recalcitrant Honey to her home; when she rebuffs him, he plants honey-tree saplings that will take eight years to mature and produce the nectar she craves. And so he waits for the delivery of this long, arboreal love letter. The payoff is enough to bring Harry Joy, Honey Barbara and the viewer together in a state of amazing grace. It's called bliss...
...range nuclear missiles by 1990 and, along the way, displayed a penchant for bareknuckle bullying reminiscent of Nikita Khrushchev. Indeed, the General Secretary showed little inclination to tone down his anti-U.S. rhetoric.

A high-frequency transmitter and teleprinter were also discovered in a well and in the temple lodgings, troops uncovered cache after cache of arms and ammunition, including a grenade factory that had been operated by Bhindranwale's followers. But the gold...
...creams with throat-curdling foreign names hit the eastern market. Frusen Glädjé actually means "frozen delight" in Swedish (with an un-Swedish accent over the final e added for class), and the American owners made the unusual move of incorporating their company in Sweden. Their nectar is manufactured in Utica. Mattus took the non-Swedes to court for what amounted to infringement of balderdash, and his case was thrown out. The other newcomer is Alpen Zauber (German for "alpine magic"), a Brooklyn outfit that claims to be "inspired by the Swiss commitment to excellence ... Its select natural...
