Interesting article on the front page of today's(1/18/99) Wall Street
Journal titled "Who Knew Kodak Would Keep So Many Skeletons in Its
Closet?  Company Grinds Cow Remains But Has to Keep Its Costs Close to
the Bone to Survive" by Alec Kelein.

PEABODY, Mass.--The stench of death rised from 16-foot-high piles of
cow bones chopped up into pocorn-size nuggets.  Frank T. Angelakis,
perched on a catwalk, grabs a fistful, rubs the pieces between his
fingers and grimaces.
   "Not the best stuff," Mr. Angelakis says. "It's hard enough.  Not
porous. But it feels greasy."
