Binder's beef: it was getting monotonous. He thought Atkinson's work first-class, but added, in an editorial: "A prize to the Times would mean more if comparable work on other newspapers also received due recognition. . . .

...biggest cattle raiser in the Republic, the Benefactor operates the most modern slaughterhouse, and sets his own price on all cattle sold in the country. The slaughterhouse, built with an Export-Import Bank loan, nominally belongs to the state; so do the ships that carry Trujillo's beef to their Puerto Rican markets.

Toasted in Absence. At 9 o'clock the Foreign Ministers, each with ten members of his staff, met again as guests of Generalissimo Stalin.

Just around the corner there is a sailor's club where last season an average of 300 sailors a night were quartered...
During the four decades around the turn of the century, undergraduate life centered about the 164-foot dining hall. The dining association, managed by its members, reported the average weekly board cost as $3.95 at a time when the menu offered such choices as "Roast Ribs of Beef," and "Braised Pork Tenderloin, Robert Sauce." "Creme d'Menthe Punch" and "Jelly Roll Pudding, Wine Sance" were two items on the same menu that prompted Carrie Nation, axe-wielding prohibitionist, to make her notorious invasion of the Memorial Hall dining room. During the noon meal on November 14, 1902, she appeared...
