...Grand Hotel, a pink elephant of a building with a view over the port (impressively clean) and the Royal Palace (depressingly severe). The reason was simple. The U.S. Population Institute served a delicious free lunch there: marinated river salmon with sweet mustard, herring in fresh cream, tiny meat balls, thick slices of rare roast beef. To ask an environmentalist to dine, however, is to ask for trouble. Dr. Samuel Epstein, the Cleveland toxicologist who first warned of the harmful effects of the detergent component nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), contended that the beef was full of cancer-causing aflatoxins...
Instamatics, priced from about $28 to $128 and weighing from 5.6 oz. to 9 oz. Only one inch thick and capable of being tucked into a shirt pocket, they produce remarkably true color prints that are one-third again as large as those processed from the old-style Instamatics, which were more than three times bulkier. The more expensive models automatically control exposure and tell photographers when to use a flash cube. Next week Kodak will turn out the one-millionth new pocket camera, and company chiefs hope to sell 4,000,000 during the first year. So far, they...

The spider legs are nine bent steel trusses that emanate from the center of the semicircle. They will be left uncovered and allowed to rust until a thick cover of reddish oxides is formed...
Except for hot dogs and other processed meats, much of which comes from Holiday Inns' Chicago commissary, the motels buy most food locally, but according to strict specifications. T-bone steaks must be either choice or prime, weigh between 12 oz. and 16 oz., and be an inch thick. To keep the meals uniform, company manuals urge local managers to buy certain preferred brands, including Dole pineapple juice, Campbell's soups and General Mills pancake mix (under the company formula, a 5-lb. box should make 100 pancakes). All food portions are carefully measured. The manuals even give...
