...Scholars disagree on exact translation. Some say it is "Oval" (i.e., a place where you can't be cornered). Others claim, "Offal" (bawdy) or "Awful," (rare...
...manufacturers enthusiastically chicken out, cramming up to 15% of their sausages with bird parts. Poultry is one of the more appetizing ingredients. Federal law allows hot dogs to contain such animal features as esophagi, ears, lips and snouts. In the words of Robert Benchley: "Ain't it offal?" And even these ingredients do not exhaust the bad news. Hot dogs are brimming with additives, including sodium nitrite, sodium acid pyrophosphate and glucona delta lactone. Without such chemicals, the hot dog would lose its pink blush and turn the color of unwashed sneakers. The wiener may also contain "binders," like...
Nearly 2,000 New Yorkers die every week, having seen the last of big-city woes-among them bad service, infuriating transit breakdowns, crowded public facilities, garbage strikes that bury their streets in offal. Since Jan. 12, they have had to submit to one final posthumous outrage. With Local 365, Cemetery Workers and Greens Attendants, out on strike, 42 of the city's cemeteries have been closed down.

Ascending clues like the rungs of a ladder, he finally commands a chilling view of the assassination: Greece...
...following Heath's tune. He is campaigning as a moderate "Man of Principle" dedicated chiefly to reducing prices, taxes and strikes. The last issue gained special pungency as the wildcat walkout of 6,000 London "dustmen" entered its third week, spread to other cities and yielded Everests of offal similar to those of New York's 1968 garbage strike. On one issue, however, old-line Tories severely tarnished the progressive image that the party is attempting to acquire. They voted overwhelmingly to end Britain's five-year experimental suspension of capital punishment, thus reviving the Conservatives...
