Missouri Farmer Walter Yoder keeps his 35 head of cattle on a diet of Wonder bread, honey buns and Ding Dongs (which they eat with the wrappers still on). "When I holler come and git it, these steers come running," Yoder says. "They like it more than the tall, lush grass in springtime. Even when the bread is moldy, they still like it just fine." Ted Thoreson, another Missouri cattleman, offers his steers spent Lipton tea leaves and contaminated flour. Says Thoreson: "The truth is that cows can actually convert most any kind of waste to food...
When Prime Minister Mário Soares campaigned for office last spring, he vowed that if elected he would institute "100 measures in 100 days" to get Portugal back on its feet. That must have seemed like a tall boast to many voters, who in the past decade had already lived through two previous Soares governments that had not been notable for their achievements. Nevertheless, the Portuguese elected Soares, who formed a coalition of Socialists and Social Democrats in late spring with a strong majority in parliament.

...band of old wartime veterans dominated by Deng Xiaoping. He does not hold China's highest titles (he is chairman of both the party and government military commissions), but there is no doubt that he is the "para mount leader."

It would be a day requiring endless ingenuity, especially in dodging. Being tall, slim, and blonde, she would probably get the full treatment starting about 10 a.m. First the friendly calls from the men she passed: "Bonjour, madame." "Come have a drink with me, madame." "Got a boyfriend, madame?" "Wanna come over, madame?" It would be no more irritating than a construction worker...
...physically fit have an undeniable appeal to each other. Says Writer Rocco Saragosa, 31, furiously pedaling a stationary exercise bicycle at Los Angeles' Nautilus Spectrum: "I can't fathom being with a woman who's not in good shape." Glancing at the tall, slender, dark-haired woman pedaling next to him, he observes, "Any time you see a woman who knows how to sweat like that, you just gotta get to know her." The woman, A.J. Bernstein, 35, a freelance photographer, has the same ideal. "I'm not turned on by flab," she says...
