The microwave ovens will never take over in restaurants that consider a meal something of an art as well as very much of a commodity; they sell best where speed and convenience count more than cuisine. Many restaurants, hotels, motels, hospitals, factory cafeterias, railroad dining cars, snack bars and hamburger stands are now turning to high-speed electronic ovens -and the ovens are even being installed in vending machines that serve hot sandwiches. Such electronic giants as General Electric, Raytheon, Litton Industries and Tappan are in the field, competing with at least three smaller firms. Sales...

Instead of cooking and serving the food immediately, microwave users now quick-freeze the dishes after cooking them on conventional stoves and store them like TV dinners until the time comes to serve.

...named Thich Quang Due had spectacularly set himself afire in a Saigon street. Later the martyr's scorched remains were assigned to final cremation in a rice field outside the capital. But, as the priests told it, when the old man's ashes were removed from the oven, his heart emerged miraculously undestroyed-obviously the supernatural work of Buddha. Immediately, his fellow monks proclaimed Quang Due a saint...
