...tired parents who need short bedtime stories. Two cultures for the price of one. A great deal! Thank the giving author. “Holiday Princess,” by Meg Cabot In keeping with its “Princess Diaries” subject, this holiday book cover is pink and white instead of red and green. And just in case you thought this was a cheap attempt to make more money off a series with 13 books and two movies, the cover reminds you that Meg Cabot is a “#1 New York Times Best-selling Author...
Brandon Boudet of Dominick's in Los Angeles wasn't so sure. A Spam virgin, he blanched a bit when it plonked out of the can, all pink like a newborn mole rat. After bravely sauting some little squares of Spam--for Spamghetti carbonara--he tested one and was surprised. It was pleasantly hamlike and not as salty as he had expected. And it was eerily airy.

...When a New Yorker named James Brunot contacted Butts about mass-producing the game, he readily handed the operation over. Brunot's contributions were significant: he came up with the iconic color scheme (pastel pink, baby-blue, indigo and bright red), devised the 50-point bonus for using all seven tiles to make a word, and conceived the name "Scrabble." The first Scrabble factory was an abandoned schoolhouse in rural Connecticut, where Brunot and several gracious friends manufactured 12 games an hour. When the chairman of Macy's discovered the game on vacation and decided to stock his shelves with...
