...draw nearer, become friendly. The docile creatures of the wood, wild-eyed because they are as frightened as Snow White, quickly make friends-bush-tailed squirrels and striped chipmunks, birds, horny turtles, and a big-eyed, bangtailed buck. Joyously they lead Snow White to a slovenly little hut they know of. When the dwarfs who own the hut return from their day's work in the diamond mine, they are alarmed to find their hovel spick-&-span...
...dwarfs are seven, and their names are chiseled on their beds: Doc, who often gets his words and ideas mixed. Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Happy, Bashful and Dopey, who did not know if he could talk because he never tried. Squatty and bearded, looking much alike except for Dopey who, being younger, has no beard, the seven dwarfs have timid hearts: they know Snow White is the Queen's step-daughter and will not keep her till she promises to make gooseberry pie. Snow White will not let them eat until they wash their hands...

Thanks to Miss Skinner's powers of suggestion, Edna's husband, who never appears, seems as real as any person in the play...
Currently Dr. Massengill is circularizing his customers with a broadside, in which he declares that he did not know that the diethylene glycol part of his "elixir" might be poisonous, that he believes responsibility for the poisonings may be due to his "elixir's" other ingredient, sulfanilamide. Nevertheless, fortnight ago St. Louis pathologists working for the Food & Drug Administration definitely declared that the 73 deaths traced to Dr. Massengill's Elixir were due to diethylene glycol, not the sulfanilamide. Last week these results were confirmed by Washington University investigators. Simultaneously, Dr. Massengill began settling the damage suits which...
