...stake is a $900 million industry, mostly made up of small companies that market their products locally. Institute members are obviously afraid that the new dehydrated potato snacks could nibble into potato-chip markets and drive some of the small chip companies out of business. Dallas-based Frito-Lay, which claims to be the biggest chip maker in the U.S. and uses Comic Buddy Hackett to munch chips on TV commercials, sides with the institute. But Frito-Lay is hedging its bet by test-marketing Munchos, a potato snack that it carefully labels "potato crisps." Francis X. Rice, president...

...whether Toxoplasma parasites could come from undercooked beef has been open, although transmission through pork and lamb has been established. Because the five students had not eaten the same food except on the night of the big lecture, Kean is confident that they picked up their parasites from the snack bar's hamburgers. For them, as for most victims, the illness was uncomfortable and not disabling. But Toxoplasma is like rubella in one respect: it wreaks its worst havoc on the unborn child, causing encephalitis, hydrocephalus, heart damage and hepatitis.
