Most patients are fitted with acrylic bite plates (about $600 apiece) to wear while sleeping or during the day. But some patients grind their teeth so furiously that they bite right through the plates. As a last resort, doctors recommend surgery to repair the joint. Until recently that meant a three-hour operation and a two-inch scar running in front of the ear. Now surgeons are increasingly using arthroscopy, a technique originally devised to correct knee damage. They insert the arthroscope, a thin telescopic tube, through an incision in the jaw and use tiny instruments to wash out debris...
...Zoole throws vegetables (yes, vegetables) out of the window after his fleeing ex-girlfriend, shouting derogations that make up part of his terrific repertoire of one-liners.

Gags still pinwheel out of the plot -- the one about a managing editor trying to scoop the world on a big story while keeping his ace reporter from deserting him to get married. And, as three previous movie incarnations have proved, The Front Page turns briskly whether the reporter is a man (Pat O'Brien in 1931, Jack Lemmon in 1974) or the boss's ex-wife (Rosalind Russell | in the 1940 His Girl Friday...
