Properly, these caterpillars, bristly brown and yellow chaps with red and blue spots, belong down south in Massachusetts, where for some years they have chewed the leaves from increasingly large patches of woodland. Reports of this munching have been received with equanimity in New Hampshire, whose yeomen tend to take the view that something is always chewing on Massachusetts.

So what gives both these films the accessible quality of coffee-table books, full of colorful portraits, sensible prose and a handful of good chuckles...
...National Academy of Sciences, challenged the prevailing wisdom. It said that there was no reason for healthy adults to decrease dietary cholesterol and, in a slap at diet faddists, added: "Good food . . . should not be reguarded as a poison, a medicine, or a talisman. It should be eaten and enjoyed...
