Those who cannot make up their minds whether to gaze or graze in their gardens can always grow edible flowers. Trendy cooks now sprinkle salads with nasturtiums, lavender petals and rose petals or make cold soup out of violets and scented geraniums. Those who experiment with gourmet gardening, cautions Rosalind Creasy, author of The Complete Book of Edible Landscaping, should take care not to sample every blossom: lily of the valley and foxglove, for example, are poisonous. As for certain marigolds, they taste "like skunk," and some carnations "metallic." "I don't care if it's edible...
...timing of the demands angered employees. The company's earnings more than doubled in 1986, rose 33% in 1987 to $407 million and increased at an annual rate of 77% in the first quarter of 1988. Nonetheless, IP contends that its return on investment lags behind much of the paper industry's. Warns Spokesman Richard White: "If we don't get all our costs in line, we'll end up like the shoe industry, another tombstone in Maine...
Here's how it goes. Two sets of twins -- rich girls Rose and Sadie Shelton and poor girls Rose and Sadie Ratliff -- are born in the same hospital, then mixed in their cradles.

This was as unexpected as the moment in 1970 when Philip Guston, known for 20 years as a painter of fugitive gray-rose webs, showed his first paintings of Ku Klux Klansmen and sent an avalanche of taste rolling toward "clumsy" figuration. What was the erstwhile constructor up to? This show tells...
...first time in 62 years, Ford has kept its accelerator to the floor. In 1987 it posted an all-time industry high of $4.6 billion in profits, with sales of $71.6 billion. In 1988 Ford is already ahead of last year's blistering pace. First-quarter earnings rose by 8.9% from the same period in 1987, to $1.62 billion, topping the combined profits of GM ($1.1 billion) and Chrysler ($184 million). Though 75% of Ford's earnings come from the U.S., it is also doing well around the world. Revenues in Western Europe went up by 25% last year...
