Eighty-three frothy servings of Tasti D-Litesounds like a lot. But for some customers, TastiD-Lite is more than an occasional treat; it is away of life...
...country consists of the disputed region of Transylvania, where most of Rumania's ethnic Hungarians live. Ceausescu regularly accused them of sabotage and planned to destroy their villages and force them into housing complexes. Delighted at Ceausescu's fall, the Hungarians still wonder if the new government will treat them fairly.

"A pig is more like having another family member than a pet," she says. Indeed, the historic relationship of man and pig, dating back nearly 2 million years, is complex. Such phrases as pig out, pigheaded and hog fat suggest distaste for an ungainly critter that spends most of its time wallowing in muck. (Pigs have few sweat glands and need mud -- or preferably, clean water -- to protect themselves from heat stroke.) But China...
