...guilt children feel about putting a parent in a nursing home can sometimes lead them to blame others for the death of their loved one. But what Leslie Oliva saw as her mother moved through three California nursing homes during the last three years of her life is part of a bigger, shocking tale the Federal Government will tell this week. The account is based on the most detailed look in more than a decade at some of the nation's nursing homes. "My mother experienced beating, malnutrition, dehydration and neglect," Oliva says quietly. "All three of the nursing homes...
...hurdle for this merger. But if it's approved, Bell Atlantic, armed with GTE's long-distance service, will have taken a step toward crossover hegemony not seen since pre-breakup AT&T -- and the resultant behemoth would be the nation's second largest phone company, behind its former parent.

One quote was particularly galling: a spokesman for the parent company of one steak-house chain--a company based in Wichita--said that his company's restaurants call a Kansas City strip a New York strip because "it's a more cosmopolitan name." Condescended to by someone from Wichita! That's what comes from turning against your own cattle. As we used to say in Kansas City--this was before they asked us to cut down on agricultural images--sooner or later the chickens all come home to roost...
