...prices were as high as 950 per lb., an average increase of 45% over last Thanksgiving. There was no drop in sales. "After all," said a Jewel food stores official in Chicago, "what's Thanksgiving without a turkey?" At Camp David, where the Carters were celebrating with a swirl of Georgia relatives from both sides of the family, a 36-lb. turkey named Purdue Pete was flown in from Indiana in a black and gold cage to be prepared for the dinner table...
