...boiled food industry has fallen in love with the safety and shelf life of pasteurized liquid eggs. Since last fall, Hyatt hotels have dished up fresh eggs only when a guest explicitly requests them sunny-side up. Diners are not told of this shell game, for as a Hyatt spokeswoman insists, "to the average person's taste, I don't think you'd notice." Liquid eggs have become the norm at fast- food chains (Burger King) and on airlines (United and American...
...awarded $64 million in damages. Collecting is something else.

"We have no campaign staff because we have no campaign," huffs press spokeswoman Deborah Johns. The strongest signal that Senator Lloyd Bentsen will not try again is his rejoining the exclusive private clubs from which he resigned during his vice-presidential bid. But fear of ridicule has not kept George McGovern, who lost 49 states in 1972, from announcing that if someone didn't get into this race soon, he would...
