There is no objection to the Committee's other major recommendation, that the HSA be more conscious of public relations. If the HSA "has nothing to hide" as the Committee suggests, it should be unafraid to lift the mysterious and unjustified curtain of secrecy the Committee says it encountered...
...changed to "wounds of inner pain" (on reflection, perhaps both were a bit much). One of our movie critic's most painful losses was his description of Tony Curtis as "a sort of Gary Grunt." And this week the People writer attempted to summarize a congressional move to lift Richard Burton's U.S. visa on grounds of moral turpitude in a poem that began thus...

Every morning, 6,000 Ibs. of Denver steaks are jet-flown to Phoenix, 20,000 Ibs. of Hawaiian papaya fly to West Coast markets, and a Manhattan shop, Cheese Unlimited, puts...
