...while disturbing the eating patterns as little as possible. They did this by: 1) eliminating most of the saturated fat from the diet by cutting out fatty meats, butter, whole milk, cream, most cheeses, egg yolks, oleomargarine, hydrogenated shortenings, coconut and cocoa products; 2) adding cottonseed oil (though soybean, corn or peanut oil would have done as well) to make up the fat deficit...
Husking the Corn. Their first act includes Green's hilarious version of the early groping talkies: a pompous baritone named "Donald Ronald" who happily mouths "Honeybunch, you drive me frantic with your smiles," but utters only a half-Nelson eddy of sound.

There is also a Reader's Digest book condensation that scrunches Gone with the Wind into 22 words...

For wheat and corn, already in generous oversupply, farmers set new yield-per-acre records...
...grant him all the support-shrinking powers he has asked for ("Our recommended program has never been given a real try"), but he has not always used the powers that he has to limit price supports, e.g., he voluntarily provided generous Government price support for millions of bushels of corn raised outside his acreage-restriction programs. And he has muddied debate by underwriting such feeble steps as 1956's since-discarded acreage-reserve provisions of the soil bank and his new, too-little, too-late corn program, which, by abandoning production curbs in return for a very modest decrease...
Pursuit (CBS, 8-9 p.m.).* Playwright Rod Serling can be counted on to keep the corn from getting too ripe when Franchot Tone plays a gentle old man agonizing over his two sons, one a cop, the other a criminal...
