For the plant, better known as "the winged bean" because of the four winglike flanges on its pod, is now regarded as a great green hope among the experts who worry about new food sources for the overpopulated and underdeveloped world...

Otis Chandler, 50, Times publisher and vice chairman of the parent Times Mirror Co., asserts blandly: "We already...
...paper's founder, publisher and editor in chief, blamed the severe winter for hampering distribution and timorous department stores for failing to advertise in the tabloid. "It was the community that put this paper out of business," fumed Saffir in a farewell address to his 130-member staff. "The major stores, Macy's, Gimbels, Bloomingdale's, were shortsighted...
