...bestseller (4,400,000 sales in paperback alone) has clearly inspired others to deal with the devil. Among them: The Mephisto Waltz by Fred Mustard Stewart (a pianist kills and inhabits the body of a long-fingered friend), and Don't Rely on Gemini by Vin Packer (the Corsican brothers in outer space). The last author is pseudonymous, but he has to come from Green...
Armour & Co., the second biggest packer, was the first to recognize the need for change, and is spending $250 million on new facilities. Now Swift, the biggest of all, has joined the renaissance.

The second concerto, distinguished by a beautiful first movement, fared much better with Tison Street and Daniel Banner as solo violins, and Philip Moss as solo cello. Mr. Street, the concert-master, articulated several...
...sausages and some 70 other processed-meat products, notably bland luncheon cuts and wieners (Mayer & Co. will accept the word frankfurter-but hot dog is taboo). Since 1954, in an industry traditionally plagued by meager returns, it has also squeezed out more profit than any other leading meat packer: 2.38% of sales in 1967, v. an industry-wide average...
