...Payola." There were sponsor problems too. A shampoo manufacturer (John H. Breck Inc.) happened to be paying for the show, and worried about that nasty business of shaving a patient's head before a brain operation. Naturally, the TV Bourke-White could not say, "I'll be glad to have my head shaved," or "This is a great year for wigs-Marlene Dietrich has ten of them," and both lines were exxed out of the script. The producers even had to fight for the dramatically climactic operation scene, since the patient would have to be bald (Actress Wright...
...common, giving her 1,005,431 shares in all. (There are now 5.200,000 shares outstanding, plus war rants and preferred shares that can convert into another 8,200,000 of common.) Furthermore, Mrs. Young admires the business abilities of Millionaire Sonnabend (Hotel Corp. of America; Botany Industries, Inc.), who says he controls 700,000 shares.

He is a professional who is paid $475 a month (plus a $25 bonus for every kill) by Rayonier, Inc. to hunt black bears on 600 sq. mi. of forest land. Though timbermen have only recently realized it, the black bear is a major threat to lumbering. Hungry bears strip the bark from young Douglas fir trees to get at the sweet sap. One bear can damage 1.200 trees in a single season, and foresters estimate that bears annually destroy 100 trees for every one destroyed...
