...third of an adult's entire daily vitamin and mineral requirements and 10% of the protein needs. The Mexican drink has a long-haired brand name, Samson, and orange or mango flavors, though Coke can give it any color and taste the customer wants, even split pea. It is made from the whey that is left over from cheese manufacturing; using this protein-potent residue has a double benefit because most whey now is dumped into streams, where it pollutes by inducing algae growth...
After deliberating for twelve hours in 1971, a jury in New York City was split 11 to 1 in favor of convicting a defendant of first-degree robbery. But Justice Arnold G. Fraiman could wait no longer for a unanimous verdict. Having announced earlier: "I have another engagement," he declared a mistrial and dismissed the jurors. The engagement was a European vacation with his wife, who reportedly was waiting in the courthouse with their suitcases. Another judge dismissed the charges because retrying the defendant would violate his constitutional right against double jeopardy...
...news unless they were big ghetto riots (the little ones were expected.) July was too hot for big anti-war protests, though; demonstration season was late spring and early fall. Joe Namath's Jets has embarassed the NFL, while the Mets, on the way to the World Series, split a double-header with Montreal. In the Middle East, the war of attrition entered a new phase, as the Israelis began using their air power on Egyptian bases...

Khomeini still identifies himself with Kashani, whose memory is reviled by Iranian nationalists because of his alleged betrayal of Mossadegh...
Last week's action, the second OPEC money grab in only three months, creates an official split in the cartel's price structure. After three days of closed-door bickering between avaricious hard-liners like Iran and Algeria and so-called moderates like Saudi Arabia and tiny Qatar, the cartel finally settled on its two-tier pricing "compromise." In theory, it would let members' consciences be their guide in deciding just how much money to charge-anywhere from $18 to $23.50 per bbl. In practice, the scheme seems little more than a device for institutionalizing chaos, which...
