...people makes the theories while another assembles the facts." His early work was done in "partial theory," by which the market is dissected and sections of it studied. Such problems as the market effect of a change in the price of copper, or an increase in the supply of meat, were tackled by him and his co-workers during these years...

As part of its new Horizon line, General Foods is testing a partially dehydrated spaghetti casserole that can be eaten on Friday by Catholics because its "meat" is actually made of soybeans.

Answer from a Fish. The chief credit for triggering the great change in U.S. eating habits belongs to a man named Clarence Birdseye, a fur trader, biologist and Yankee tinkerer from Gloucester, Mass.

Because the general -now Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke-had said so in his diary, which is the meat and bones of The Turn of the Tide. As Brooke saw it, the Americans were military chumps and not always well-meaning ones. His boss, Churchill, was a splendid fellow but really just a child when it came to handling a war.
