[Sca-cooks] Francs and Beans

[Sandra Kisner]

<<Okay, an assignment for those with extensive online research resources. Can anybody pleazzze find Russell Baker's essay from the New York Times entitled "Francs and Beans". It is a parody of food writing done by a world-famous news columnist and survivor of the American Depression era, and features a pretty scathing commentary on fried bologna, among other things. The article would be from 1975 or so, probably a Sunday Observer column, as opposed to one of his Op-Ed pieces.>>

A google search turned up many lists of the "top 100 journalism" things, but no actual copy of the text of Baker's article.  There *was* a link to a spoof.  In case people find it interesting, here's the URL:  http://www.jump.net/~pkrouse/humor/true/franksandbeans
