Chapter & Verse. Once a week, over WNBQ in Chicago, tall, hollow-cheeked Ken Nordine recites poetry to a late evening audience. Perched on a stool, with a stepladder full of books beside him, the 34-year-old lowan reads earnestly in a subdued, husky voice, glancing from page to camera like a casual host reading to guests in his library. What distinguishes Nordine's shows from others like it is the flashing telephone by his side. He has adapted the disk jockey's request-format for poetry and made it work. When he finishes a poem, he picks...
When Pianist Oscar Peterson and his trio gave a fast-fingered version of Tenderly sprinkled with suave dissonances, the modernist crowd was ready to call it the high point of the festival. But the younger set shrieked louder when hollow-cheeked Gerry Mulligan bellowed and coaxed The Lady Is a Tramp through his big baritone sax.

...That's how I stay slim. By eating as much as the average man, a woman gets the energy she needs to burn up her fat. Heavens! You're too weak to do it on a starvation diet. Shovel down big helpings, and you can develop a hollow leg for food. When I'm not hungry at all, I often gobble three hot dogs just to keep my stomach busy." The Blair diet's only taboo: hard liquor...
Plastic Surgeon Kiskadden urged his colleagues to warn parents of an equally potent but less obvious danger: the hollow-chamber type of appliance plug used with many vacuum cleaners, toasters, coffeepots and most irons. Even when the appliance is disconnected, the other end of the cord is often left plugged into the wall outlet. In eight years at Childrens Hospital in Los Angeles, he and Dr. Sanford R. Dietrich have seen 16 children, mostly under three, with severe electrical burns of the mouth. These, said Dr. Kiskadden, "are almost always caused by putting a live plug...
