...Harsh winters, droughts or typhoons cut output in the Soviet Union, Argentina, Australia, the Philippines and India. Off the coast of Peru, a change in ocean currents and overfishing decimated the anchovy catch, a major source of protein for animal feed. In Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, the peanut crop-providing mainly animal feed and cooking oil-fell far below normal. All told, the world's food output dropped for the first time in 20 years, down 33 million tons, from 1,200 million tons. Merely to meet the added demand of increased population and rising living standards...
...knit uniforms, artificial turf, and blazer-and-turtleneck bedizened umpires all need at least ten years aging before they might be countenanced on the diamond. It may be a century before products of the sandlots assimilate the Designated Hitter. Such gaudy perversions have me clinging to the Goldberg's Peanut Chews billboard which one adorned the left field wall in extinct Shibe Park's power alley. Still, there is nothing like the day-to-day exhilaration of a pennant race to lend life--whether it is endured in a crusty New England college or not a hot inner-city alley...
...make up for lost time, he performs continuous masses, weddings and baptisms--all in Algonquian, the language spoken by the tribes of the sub-Arctic cultural area south and east of the Hudson Bay. Children eat potato chips and play tag in the aisle, baptismal water appears in a peanut butter jar, and everyone, scratching incessantly, squashes blackflies that gather at the window panes. At the wedding of the cheif's son, he and his bride sat in armchairs in front of the altar while wild dogs wandered in and out at will...
...Mass Ave. More than 400 of the national chain's flavors rotate through this store, with at least 31 showcased at one time. Each month an absolutely new flavor is offered, which is sort of alarming if you think about it. Particularly memorable flavors are bubble gum and peanut butter and jelly. The cones are very small and though a single scoop is still 30 cents, the double and triple scoops have this month gone up to 55 and 75 cents respectively. You can't beat this store for variety but the ice cream sold there has a strangely artificial...
...candy bar freak from way back. In fact, from so far back that I can't remember not desiring those delectable divinities--Milky Way, Three Musketeers, Snickers, Buns, Reese Peanut Butter Cups--anything coated in chocolate (excepting the coconut kind, of course)--was on my list. How I relished being given a nickel to take to the grocery. Certainly the choice was agonizing, and I'll admit, I occasionally chose some bubble gum and suckers over the candy bar, but that was only to save the savoring of the chocolate bar, to intensify my craving, to make myself remember that...
