Like Scott, who lost his ranch in the Big Open, many of the 3,000 human inhabitants of the flat, arid area are going broke trying to raise wheat or cattle. If their lands were combined into a cooperative and replanted with native grasses, says Scott, the area could support wild animals on a scale ; unseen since Lewis and Clark came through in 1805. Tourists would flock in to watch the deer and the antelope play, hunters to stalk elk and perhaps 75,000 bison. Scott presented his plan in Missoula last month to the nonprofit Institute of the Rockies...
LOSS LEADER OF THE YEAR The last word on huevos rancheros has to be huevos Bridge Creek, served at a Berkeley restaurant for which the dish is named. Based on a paper-thin wheat tortilla with the required fried eggs, this elegant, succulent version has three sauces -- one fresh, made from scratch of Mexican tomatillos, another the classic tomato and onion salsa, and the third a chili-flavored pork carnitas -- all capped with a dome of melted Jack cheese. "It costs us $18 to make," says Chef-Owner John Hudspeth. Since $10.50 was the menu price, it is easy...

Her work brims with tempting dumplings, noodles in mild and spicy sauces, one-dish soups and stews bolstered with some form of wheat-, bean- or rice-flour noodles.

...lobbying efforts came from South Africa. In telephone conversations with two farm-state G.O.P. Senators, Iowa's Charles Grassley and Nebraska's Edward Zorinsky, Pik Botha warned that imposition of sanctions would result in retaliatory measures from Pretoria. South Africa would not only refuse to import any more American wheat (it bought 256,000 tons in the year ending last June) but also block grain deliveries to neighboring black states that depend on South Africa for commercial transport. Both Senators had been buttonholed near the Senate cloakroom by North Carolina Republican Jesse Helms, a friend of Botha...
