...Small testified that the Talmudic law of Yichud did indeed prohibit Ruth from sitting up overnight in the chair alone with young Jack. Last year a jury awarded Ruth $35,000 in damages and her father $2,231 for actual medical costs. Ruth married a rabbi after the ski-lift incident, but the marriage has been annulled...

...Stamler has chided Kannel for lack of faith in the American public, but Stamler also believes that something should be done at the Governmental level. "We didn't just ask people to use sterilized water," he points out. "We cleaned it up for them." If the FDA would lift what Stamler calls its "ridiculous restrictions" on labeling, he believes, food processors would soon be making polyunsaturated foods-even hot dogs-to meet public demand...
