...build a blue-jean plant in the Soviet Union could be damaged by the boycott. Coca-Cola saw the Olympics as its first major penetration of the Soviet market, which Pepsi-Cola so far has cornered. The company had already sent Moscow large supplies of the concentrated Coke syrup. But last week Chairman J. Paul Austin told his old friend and fellow Georgian Jimmy Carter that the company would abide by the embargo...
...caricature bore more than a passing resemblance to the 750 reporters and 300 photographers who descended on Los Angeles last week to watch the Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers collide in Super Bowl XIV. For seven days, the National Football League virtually immobilized the journalists in a thick public relations syrup. Upon arriving they were given a designer carryall, a briefcase and enough press handouts to reconstruct a tree. They were bused to mind-numbing press conferences and interview sessions, and courtesy cars were available if they wanted to take a drive. Coffee, juice and pastry were served gratis every morning...
Valium's maker was founded in 1896 by Fritz Hoffmann, a Basel marketing whiz whose first commercial success was a cough syrup.

Since the EPA study was made in 1965, Congress reports, "We have seen some major shifts in food consumption in the U.S.... Consumption of poultry, chicken, cheese, margarine, shortening and oils, fresh and frozen vegetables and corn syrup and sweeteners has increased." Finally, the EPA supports many of its decisions with data supplied by the chemical industry itself--which obviously has an interest in pooh-poohing the dangers of its products. The EPA's program, Congress concludes, "is abysmal and needs a complete overhaul...
With few exceptions, like the children in King Vidor's The Crowd, and Jackie Cooper in Vidor's The Champ, kids in those days were usually required to unbottle buckets of maple syrup. Think about the death of Rhett Butler's be loved Bonnie Blue in Gone With the Wind. The little actress, Cammie King, is such a vision of hatefulness in her taffeta gowns, ringlets that curl like maypoles and a voice full of squiggles, that one feels less sympathy at her demise than at the death of her pony. The animal is shot for throwing...
