...Kansas, and there seem to be a whole lot of tornadoes directly overhead," Wyman good-naturedly told TIME last week, "along with some that never took place." Wyman denied he is leaving CBS and pointed out that Tisch is still within his agreed-upon limit of 25% of CBS stock. Any effort by Tisch to acquire more shares, Wyman said, would be strongly resisted. Such a move "would represent a broken agreement, and everyone should expect that that condition would be the basis for considering alternatives to protect the independence of the company...
Befitting a miracle, the story of tax reform's triumph is a tale of repeated resurrections: almost every week over the past two years somebody has pronounced the idea dead. Indeed, there were many times during its tortured course that the bill really did seem ready for burial. It was repeatedly brought back to life by both Democrats, who control the House, and Republicans, who rule the Senate.

Le Bernardin is run by the brother-and-sister team of Gilbert (the chef) and Maguy (the hostess) Le Coze, owners of the Paris original...
...pigs must jump 11-, 14- and 16-in. barriers. "Pigs are natural jumpers," says Holding. "Put a hurdle between them and food, and they learn fast how to clear it. These guys are no dummies." Actually, most of the guys are girls. For reasons nobody quite understands, gilts (females) seem to be better runners and jumpers than barrows (males...
