...less than the 12.2% average yearly boost in the Reagan administration. Tirelessly, Brown proselytizes for reduced spending, probing with Socratic questioning that leaves many listeners in a rage. He startled the University of California regents by dismissing their verbose academic plan as a "perfect example of the squid process: ink spread across the page in unintelligible wordlike patterns that tell me absolutely nothing." He suggested that University President-designate David Saxon take a cut in his scheduled $59,500-a-year salary. Asked Brown: "Why in the world are salaries higher for administrators when the basic mission is teaching...
...their middle ears and sinuses. According to Marine Biologists James G. Mead of the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of Natural History in Washington and John H. Prescott of Boston's New England Aquarium, the worms had apparently been taken in along with meals of fish or squid. Once entrenched, they may have interfered with the whales' highly sensitive, sonar-like echo-location system, which enables them to spot schools offish and other objects. The whales' hearing is an essential part of the system, and if it is badly impaired, the scientists say, the whales can neither...
...broiler and they sometimes explode with the heat. (Better that they explode under your napkin than in your face, or worse still, your stomach).

...Fried Squid. Accommodations at the Olympic Village are more down to earth. Destined to be a public housing complex after the games, the rooms were built to Japanese specifications with 7-ft. ceilings that many Western athletes find a trifle "repressive." Save for that, the Japanese hosts have anticipated every need right down to the installation of toilets equipped with heaters to prevent the water from freezing. The dining halls serve richly varied menus with items ranging from hamburgers and milkshakes to such local delicacies as hairy crab and fried squid. The village's sauna features an "enzyme...
...sounds like the opening of a Woody Allen movie: a Japanese businessman, togged out in Stetson, chaps and boots, strides into a small West Texas grocery to ask the startled storekeeper if he would please stock fresh squid. Such events, however, have become part of everyday life in the prairie town of San Angelo (pop. 63,884). There, some 30 Japanese executives have adapted to the Texas life-style well enough to make a thriving operation out of an aircraft-assembly plant owned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Japan's fourth largest industrial company (1970 sales: $2.6 billion).
