...Brew. After two years of experimentation, Milwaukee's Blatz Brewing Co. next week will start test-marketing Tempo, a bland new brew aimed at the potential consumers (54% of all U.S. adults) who never touch beer. Tempo is flavored with an extract of fresh hops, which are milder than the dried hops ordinarily used by brewers to give beer its traditional tang.

Up to his nonclerical collar in a "Tell Scotland" crusade, Graham found himself in the rough, both on a Scottish golf course and in the minds of England's organized animal lovers. The ruckus began when he started a BBC broadcast with a bland enough statement: "Fishes belong to the sea, animals belong to the jungle, human beings belong to God." But to Britain's buffalo-chip-on-shoulder League Against Cruel Sports, these were fighting words. More fuel was poured into the fire when an L.A.C.S. member reported that...
