However, these rules of decency and discretion were violated in the most callous and tasteless manner by anthropologists at the Peabody Museum on Thursday, January 24, 1980. This group openly advertised and later presented explicit film material on clitoridectomy of small African girls. The main speaker was anthropologist Tore Harkensson, a man who has been refused academic endorsement by all institutions in his native Sweden because of lack of training and his bizarre subject matter. When I was informed of the plans for this presentation by Mr. Harkensson, I strongly protested the showing of his films on the grounds that...
Tofu, or bean curd, a custard-like cake made from curdled soybean milk, was a favorite of Taoist priests in ancient China. Now Americans are learning to use the nearly tasteless curd (flavoring must be added) to replace cheese in cheesecake and meat in burgers. A 4-oz. serving of tofu has nearly as much protein as an equal amount of hamburger but fewer calories (150 vs. 237) and no cholesterol. At 99? per lb., it is also cheaper. One large supplier, the New England Soy Dairy, Inc. of Greenfield, Mass., peddled 300 to 500 lbs. of curd a week...
Perhaps. But even if Tatum is the only savage-minded safety in professional football-and that seems dubious-his case is complex enough to merit consideration.

...which is one of the few French dishes to employ bourbon whisky; it also won her the coveted Grand Prix of the Poêle d'Or in 1968. Though Peter says grandly in her preface that "we are liberated from the potato, which modern industrialization has made tasteless," her chefs offer five tasty dishes made with the proscribed pomme. An intriguing zucchini soufflé mistral comes from Colette Maudonnet, whose restaurant, Aux Naulets d'Anjou, is 160 miles southwest of Paris. Dominique Nahmias, who at 26 claims to be the youngest woman chef running a restaurant...
Justin was growing accustomed to the tasteless venison after three days in the wilds. In Edmonton he would respond to even the mildest reproach, would defend himself with the precise, piercing elocution that had become his trademark. In the Arctic, blinded by the snow, frozen to the marrow, quivering with hunger, he sheepishly heeded Kamik and stuffed the meat back into the backpack...
