...naked eye" by police "traveling in the public airways." In the Dow case Burger went further, saying that a factory area was not comparable to a private yard, and that the $22,000 magnifying camera used by the EPA was not in the same league as high- tech snooping devices that might require a search warrant. The majority's course worried Lewis Powell, who spoke for the dissenters in both cases.

...lean Chianina was developed at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, and is expected to be in Texas supermarkets in late summer. It has 25% less fat and 36% fewer calories than ordinary beef, although the cholesterol content is not significantly lower. Chianina is a descendant of a breed raised in the Chiana Valley of Italy since Roman times. Cooked as directed, the rather pale meat with slightly yellowish fat was virtually tasteless except for slight acidic overtones. Most successful was the steak, pan-grilled and served very rare. What little fat there was in Chianina cuts had an unpleasant waxy...
