...lady who routinely gobbles 20 pieces of fried chicken (for only $1.55) on each visit to Shakey's Pizza Parlor in Los Angeles, gluttons have only their appetites in common and are difficult to identify at a glance. Manager Edward White of Manhattan's Stockholm Restaurant (unlimited smorgasbord for $6.95) still shudders when he remembers the tall, beautifully groomed woman who ravaged his 85-dish buffet.

Some of the successful informal courses now being offered through various institutes could be affiliated with different Houses and granted degree...

In a country where socialism is as familiar as smorgasbord, the 202-year-old dynasty retains a remarkable grip: complete or partial control of 30 major Swedish firms, including nine of the country's 15 largest. For all the Wallenbergs' influence, the family bank, Stockholms Enskilda, is relatively small...
