KQED, one of the U.S.'s most dignified stations (TIME, Dec. 31, 1956), is dependent on such undignified auctions and fund drives for almost a third of its $360,000 yearly expenditures.

Samples (from the SAS menu): five slices of ox tongue, a lettuce heart, asparagus and sliced carrots-on a slice of bread; five slices of liver pate, fried crisp bacon, mushrooms and sliced tomato-on a slice of bread. Seconds are available for the asking, and SAS, for one, passes around a tray from which a passenger may take as much...
