Received a magazine Orion in the mail, beautifully produced and exemplifying why the environmental movement has no appeal for the masses -- too arty--too much bad poetry in the Hail Brother Ass (in this case Hello Mosquito) variety-- too many ugly paintings--they have to get serious is they want to stop the butchery of animals in abbatoirs, the force feeding of poor geese, the poisoning of our produce.

Rereading Two Mrs. Grenvilles and the Ann Woodward character excoriated by a Sublimely Bitchy Dominick Dunne who like most gay men loves tough old broads like Alice. (Why is that?)

Top produce to AVOID since they are most heavily sprayed, with up to 9 separate chemicals on a single sample: potatoes, spinach, green peppers, celery, and those tasteless peaches, strawberries, raspberries, apples, pears, nectarines, cherries, imported grapes. That's enough for the day. These are crucial to buy organic.
