...days before his TV address, Reagan called Texas Democrat Charles Stenholm into the Oval Office to ask for his support. Stenholm agreed and pointed out that one way the President could win some Southern Democrats would be to stop opposing a peanut-crop allotment scheme. Taking his advice, Reagan later assured the ten-man Georgia delegation that the matter was not peanuts to him. When former President (and sometime Peanut Farmer) Jimmy Carter called Congressman Bo Ginn, it was too late. Carter was Ginn's 405th caller that day -and only the fifth to support the Democratic bill. Ginn...
...object of Foster's uncertainty is a brown, peanut-size bean called the jojoba (pronounced ho-ho-bah). Nearly a decade ago, researchers found that oil extracted from the beanlike seeds of the jojoba bush, which grows wild in the desert of the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico, could substitute for dwindling supplies of sperm whale...
...film lurches from one battle scene to the next with little substance in between. Most of the problem can be attributed to Peter MacNicol's peanut butter-on-milquetoast portrayal of the would-be hero.

Sombrero towers; steak rooms; fireworks; mini gold; barrooms; postcards; ice cream; swimming pools. I feel at home here...
...giving her the best food processor you can buy." That was the Mother's Day message to devoted husbands in an ad campaign that climaxed last week for the Cuisinart, the mechanical marvel that slices, dices, grinds and grates to produce treats ranging from paté to peanut butter. Cuisinarts, Inc. of Greenwich, Conn., which sells processors of various sizes, priced from $100 to $260, had good reason to launch the commercial blitz. Its status as the Cadillac of kitchen cutters is being seriously challenged by Robot-Coupe, the French firm whose founder, Pierre Verdun, invented the machines...
