When I make a salad dressing of oil and vinegar, I now generally use a malt vinegar rather than red wine vinegar because it is "sweeter" to the taste. Sometimes I add more than a dash of dry white vermouth. The exact recipe is ½ teaspoon of egg yolk put in a bowl with 1 tablespoon each of mustard and malt vinegar, plus a generous grinding of black pepper and, perhaps, a bit of finely minced garlic. I beat the mixture with a wire whisk while gradually adding 3 tablespoons of good olive oil. Last come 3 tablespoons...
Searle says there is one-tenth of a calorie in the amount of aspartame needed to match the sweetness of a teaspoon of sugar, which has 16 calories. Aspartame will be sold in tablet or granulated form to consumers next year under the brand name "Equal." Under the name "NutraSweet," it will be a food additive used in breakfast cereals, dessert mixes and powdered drinks. Searle plans to seek FDA permission soon to extend its use to carbonated soft drinks...
...couple plates with royal couple tea towels, a steal at $3.30. Smokers can light up with Charles and Diana lighters and extinguish butts in C & D ash trays. Tea drinkers can sip from a C & D mug, pour cream from a C & D jug, add sugar with a keepsake teaspoon.

For fun, there is a crossword puzzle with answers that form a princely head. For salvation, there...
...Texas International, Lorenzo installed a new team of cost-conscious managers who began monitoring fuel consumption almost to the teaspoon, rearranged seating for maximum capacity and inaugurated "Peanuts Fare" discounts on selected routes.

In the first six months of this year, Texas International earned $26.6 million on sales of $455 million...
...neutron stars. Spinning rapidly and emitting pulses of radiation, neutron stars are not really stars at all; they are ultradense balls of nucleons compressed by the catastrophic death of a massive star into an object not much larger than a typical city. Gravity is so intense that a teaspoon of neutron-star stuff would weigh about a million tons, a human would be crushed to the thickness of a postage stamp, and the entire population of planet Earth, if shipped to a neutron star, would be compressed into a volume about the size of an aspirin tablet. Strange objects, these...
