Vern Stouffer expects that premium-priced frozen foods, which now account for 40% of the company's gross, eventually will bring in more than 50% of it. But he says: "The restaurants will always remain the hallmark of our quality." He personally intends to see that they do. And he has his own special means for keeping his waistline in fighting trim for all those calorie-loaded inspection trips: when not on the road or entertaining guests, he usually lunches at his desk on buttermilk and crackers...
Token steps toward rapprochement are in the mutual interest of the two neighbors. Ironically, the President made much last night of the clandestine nature of the Russian build-up. And yet it was the very severing of relations that made secrecy and suspicion the hallmark of U.S. Cuban dealings. Each step in the spiral of hostility has formed a template for its perpetuity.

He would like the Boston at Tanglewood to commission and play more works for small groups-for the very practical reason that...
...boyishly intense Amory ("Amo") Houghton Jr., 36, who stepped up after Decker, 61, was named chairman last year. Like his predecessors, Amo Houghton is dedicated to the formula of freewheeling, long-range basic-research spending-he is fond of calling it "patient money"-that has become Corning's hallmark. Currently, Corning's research and development bill is running at the rate of $13 million a year-which is equivalent to 50% of the company's net profits last year...
