That could pose an image problem for the hospital. After all, Carlo Gambino was the last of the old-style Godfathers, and his two sons were indicted for racketeering last year. In accepting the donation, however, Schneider officials take a practical view. "Our mission," says a spokeswoman, "is to save lives." The father of a future patient puts the issue more starkly: "I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I have a daughter who will die if she doesn't get a transplant...

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...
