Some ranchers are uneasy about their new neighbors. Says one cattleman: "They seem to be interested in buying the best spreads and the bigger processors." But ranchers generally welcome the Japanese beef boom because the export sales will help revive a depressed industry. Per capita beef consumption in the U.S. has fallen from 94.2 lbs. in 1976 to 72.7 lbs. last year. The Japanese investment should also be a boon for Americans who sell supplies and expertise to the new beef barons. Says John Morse, president of Selkirk Ranch: "The Japanese are willing to pay a premium for people...
...brilliant morning: the Netherlands had the foresight to pack orange parasols. Most of the athletes' costumes were as summery as the straw skimmers sported by the French, though the Australians must have been sweating under their dry-as-a-bone cattleman coats. A few lampshade headdresses competed with several styles of burnooses.

Little wonder, then, that when Suarez had appendicitis two years ago, he was able to slip into the hospital in Santa Cruz (pop. 376,000), his hometown in Bolivia's Oriente region, for treatment. "The authorities were searching for him," explains one of Suarez's friends, "but the whole town conspired to protect...
...Dongs (which they eat with the wrappers still on). "When I holler come and git it, these steers come running," Yoder says. "They like it more than the tall, lush grass in springtime. Even when the bread is moldy, they still like it just fine." Ted Thoreson, another Missouri cattleman, offers his steers spent Lipton tea leaves and contaminated flour. Says Thoreson: "The truth is that cows can actually convert most any kind of waste to food...
