...Italian Thunderbirds, one of whom makes animal noises, wears a cape and calls himself Batman. But the prosecutor's personal life keeps getting in the way. He seeks the death penalty, but his wife, a Vassar liberal, played with the animation of a damp Post Toasty by Cereal Heiress Dina Merrill, is dead against capital punishment. Yet the D.A. (Edward Andrews) wants to rev the Thunderbirds right into the chair so that he can get the governorship (Hollywood has decided all voters are out for blood). One of the defendants turns out to be the son of a woman...
...matrimonial side," says Van Brocklin candidly, "the players don't do badly, either. To name a few: Ron Waller, an ex-Ram, married the granddaughter of the cereal fortune matriarch, Marjorie Merriweather Post. Ron Miller, after a year with the Rams, took Walt Disney's daughter as his bride and moved into Disneyland. Bud McFadin is the husband of a young lady whose father owns half of West Texas. Bud now runs a dude ranch near Houston. Leon Clarke, the Rams' tall end, wed the heiress to the Beechnut chewing gum, baby food and allied products millions...

But immediately after the uprising, the Chinese confiscated all the cereal and vegetable foods in all the villages under their control and made an inventory of all sheep, cattle and yaks. Politically docile Tibetans were doled out 25 Ibs. of grain a month; less trusted Tibetans got only 17. In most cases the ration consisted of wheat and barley husks rather than the grain itself, or of poor-quality grain usually fed only to animals...
...early riser (6:45 in winter, 5:30 in summer), Dr. Keys eats a leisurely breakfast-half a grapefruit, dry cereal with skim milk, unbuttered toast, jam and coffee. Then, brown paper lunch bag on the seat beside him, he drives to work in a two-toned Karmann-Ghia. Although lunch is slim-a sardine sandwich, an olive, a cooky and a glass of skim milk-Keys eats with deliberate slowness. "I don't like to insult food," he says. Lunch done, he sits back, closes his eyes, and goes to sleep for exactly ten minutes in his office...
