...overconsumption of iced Cucumis melo. Since practically the day human beings first walked the earth, we've had trouble turning down fruit, and by 1800 the Western world was in something of a fruit frenzy. People wanted specimens to look at, to study, to paint, to read about, to display, to write about and, occasionally, to eat. In 1804 George Brookshaw, a London cabinetmaker who specialized in furniture adorned with paintings of fruit, turned his full attention to cataloguing and depicting fruit. His primary mission was to educate. "Some of our best fruits have been suffered to be neglected...

They have never been on the other side of such demeaning treatment. STEFANY REEDY Cincinnati, Ohio...
...oddity is that for all the Administration's display of pique, the result of the German election is probably as good as Washington could have hoped for. The Greens party, Schroder's coalition partner, was the big winner at the polls. Its leader, Fischer, can now be expected to have even more of a free hand in foreign policy--and of all the leading German politicians, he has the greatest feel and affection for the U.S. "I know the United States very well," he told TIME. "Bob Dylan was more important for my political orientation than Karl Marx." Moreover, Schroder...
