The flaccid little people tumbled off ponies, had trouble handling man-sized six guns, had attacks of temperament and sunburn. Finally, at a cost of almost $100,000 and many a headache, the film was finished...

Most popular of international racing yachts, Star boats are 22 ft. long, cost around $1,500, are descended from a seafaring line of Sharpies used for gathering oysters on Long Island Sound a hundred years ago.

The average cost of private medical care is $76 a person annually. . . . The total [yearly] cost of illness and premature death is $10,000,000,000. We cannot attack successfully with small change a ten-billion-dollar problem." She proposed that the Government embark on a ten-year program to spend $850,000,000 annually. Suggested appropriations: $705,000,000 for expansion of public health facilities, development of maternity and child health centres, financing of medical specialists, eradication...
