They dispense a dizzily dyspeptic array of instant edibles from storefronts with names like Yum Yum Palace, Mustard's Last Stand and the Hokey Pokey.

She had served 14 months of a 24-month sentence, which was slightly less than the sentence imposed by a U.S. court on Husband Clifford Irving for masterminding the Howard Hughes hoax that put them both in the pokey. Edith was met by Emil Stengelé, a wealthy Zurich art-gallery owner who has bought the many paintings she made in prison for exhibition later this month. Her time behind bars revealed Edith's tough side: she disarmed an inmate who was attacking a guard with a knife...
