But the hot-air dryer, they say, is far from an effective replacement; it spreads germs faster by blowing them into the air. The Dusseldorf doctors prefer either the long roll, in which each part of the towel is used only once, or individual paper towels. Either way, they urge: "One person, one towel...

Thus wherever the heat flows, music is wafted into every room as sepulchrally as the voice of Marley's ghost; the soprano trills from atop the cupboard, the tenor sings from under the bed. Price...
...sweat to any palm that has ever touched a cuestick. Then, too, Newman is better than usual; Gleason, as the slit-mouthed, beady-eyed Minnesota Fats, darts among the shabby little pool sharks like an improbably agile and natty whale; and Gambler Scott looks as though he could sell hot-air heat to the devil...
