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...

Both are unusually young to head major corporations: Kendall is 42, Austin 48. Both advanced up the corporate ladder through the export division...
...determined dieter can whip up a filling meal from Duffy-Mott Co.'s new shelf of 60 low-calorie products, including maple syrup (9 calories per teaspoon, v. 50-55 for the real thing), spaghetti sauces (8, v. 20) and chicken à la king (96 per serving, v. 305). 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...
