...McConnell's, in California, which somehow manages to saturate its product with 22% butterfat, currently a North American record. By Gerber's of Atlanta. By Graeter's of Cincinnati. By Bud's of San Francisco. By Vivoli's of Berkeley.

In New York City, you get Häagen...

New York's Louis Nizer, whose clients have included Blacklist Victim John Henry Faulk and major corporations in the film industry, commands a phenomenal $350 an hour, thus earning...
...codes as shams that bind the will. When he steals Dona Elvira (Frances Conroy) from the convent to be his wife and then abandons her, he mocks vows made to God and to fidelity. He protests undying love and proffers marriage to two peasant girls (Kristine Nielsen and Hillary Bailey) merely as bait for the gullible. He mocks his fellow aristocrats by tripping them up in the niceties of codes of honor, and his aged father (John E. Straub) by an icy disdain for filial piety...
