The corpse was cut down, carried to a corner of the prison grounds where, in swirls of ground fog, it was thrust into an aluminum oven with a chimney at one end. A gas fire burned for two hours, reducing Eichmann's light frame to a handful of ashes. While the body was cremated, black smoke poured into the sky. None of the watching officials and reporters said a word, but the memory...

But Lubin's goal in automating is not the usual one of saving labor costs; instead it is to build the undeviating accuracy of machines into the quality of his cakes...
Lady Bird's major overhaul for the house was aimed at the kitchen, to which she has added a double-oven electric range, two food freezers and a restaurant-size refrigerator.
