Prisoners are fed at six and six. The morning meal consists of three cold biscuits. The whites are served first, (theirs may be warm--I don't know), a strip of "streak-o'-lean" bacon, and a tablespoon of cane syrup. Supper is one slab of cornbread (cold again), rice, and red beans. Prisoners are given a mattress and a blanket upon arrival, to be returned upon release. No uniforms are issued and neither are packages of fresh clothing permitted...
...planes: "A child throwing up is an unpleasant circumstance," to forestall which Traveler Hadley has discovered what she calls a "miracle preflight diet: Six hours before the flight, a little toast, coffee, tea or one-half glass of milk, and some tinned peaches with heavy syrup; 4 hours before the flight, 8 to 16 ounces of any of the calorie-rich reducing liquids." > On bidets: "It's no good to say 'It's not a drinking fountain,' because your child will still want to know what it is. There's no use your giving your...
...Problems. Pepsi's Kendall, a husky, hard-working onetime fountain-syrup salesman who tripled sales and quintupled profits in six years as Pepsi's international president, has much in common with Coca-Cola's President J. Paul Austin, who took over his company last year. Both have Southern ties: Kendall was a football tackle for Western Kentucky State College; Austin spent his early youth in LaGrange, Ga., before moving up to Harvard Law School. Both are unusually young to head major corporations: Kendall is 42, Austin 48. Both advanced up the corporate ladder through the export division...

Taste, depending on the product, ranges from good to dreadful. Mott thins the fat off its meats, uses only white chicken meat instead of richer dark meat, says all this adds 10% to 12% to its costs. The products retail at a 1% to 200% premium, and sales are swelling...
...mind. He counts the world well lost for money. Skittering about like a drunken sandpiper, Hume Cronyn is a dizzy delight. His Harpagon is a sprite of the cashbox, an imp of interest rates, a tooth-clacking, raggedy-cloaked, stringy-haired, sciatica-plagued witch of usury. As a syrup-tongued matchmaker, Zoe Caldwell steals laughs from Cronyn, and is the yeasty comic find of the company. Obviously, the Guthrie troupe is off to a brave rather than a great start. If a Hamlet of this caliber were to open on Broadway, it would close on Saturday, and a slight Moli...
