...matters beyond the realm of concern this summer. There is one other big-league team around--the New England Tea Men of the North American Soccer League (formerly known as the Minutemen until purchased by Lipton, the present nickname can be attributed to the fact that "Cup of Soup Men" would presumably have been historically inappropriate). The Tea Men are locked into the Eastern Division of the NASL's American Conference, dominated by a pair of strong Florida entries from Tampa Bay and Fort Lauderdale. No one pays much attention to their plight...
...time of stress, economic policy may need more psychological input than mathematical analysis. Our very economic success also makes it tougher to pick up the nation's economic tremors quickly. Treasury Spokesman Joseph Laitin points out that we do not have the foreclosures, soup lines, dispossessions and other instant aftershocks from economic swings that used to send signals racing through the political system.

Papier-mâché roses decked the dusty streets of the capital. Free bouillon and clairin-soup and rum-were distributed to the populace. But for most Haitians there was little to celebrate.

These images fade in time, however, unlike the icy symbolism of Fassbinder's Marriage of Maria Braun, which treated modern German history with cinematic cynicism...
...ensure that one of our people would serve Ellsberg. One of the earliest dishes on the menu was soup, ideal for the rapid absorption.and wide dispersal of a drug. Hunt was certain that he could provide men from the Miami Cuban community; the drug would be a fast-acting psychedelic such as LSD 25 he said he could get from the CIA. The plan went through Colson. We waited and waited for an answer, but when it finally came in the affirmative, there was no longer enough lead time...
