Often, dinner is a hamburger served in a paper bag; books are nonexistent; home is a rooming house so transient that in a recent...
...hard to straighten out a company, but to make it grow-that's another question," says President William Edwin Grace, 55, of Detroit's Fruehauf Corp.

The solution is to be black, and if few make it, some do--and are effective...
...cheese, but she soon moves on to buttered toast, cookies, milk, mashed potatoes, hamburger, and cold dry cereal. She takes everything with her fingers, even if it is usually caten with a knife and fork. She pushes tiny bits of food into her mouth faster and faster, feeling herself grow full, fuller, and finally much, much too full, but still she goes on Finally, when the mere thought of food disgusts her, she stops exhausted, bloated and hating herself fariously. But before she goes back upstairs to bed she takes a little more...
