...Food Services currently has a policy of purchasing if the price is right--products manufactured by Stouffer Foods and Libby, McNeill and Libby, both subsidiaries of Nestle, Benjamin H. Walcott, assistant director of Food Services, said this week...
...Lonnie McNeill brings an urbane elegance and a honeyed tongue to In Honeysuckle Time. Sex becomes a four-letter word when musky-voiced Lynnie Godfrey smolders through such numbers as Daddy and I'm Craving for That Kind of Love. Looking like an iridescent flapper from the '20s, Ethel Beatty makes Memories of You a heartbreak blues. Just about the entire cast puts sizzling bawdy English into If You've Never Been Vamped by a Brownskin, You've Never Been Vamped at All. Miss Aggie apparently taught Eubie more than he could ever forget...
...they give a good approximation of what the Beatles looked like. As Ringo Starr, Justin McNeill bobs his nose up and down convincingly. Leslie Fradkin as Harrison and Joe Pecorino as Lennon rely pretty much on their costumes and gestures for verisimilitude.

...many an ancient malady to little more than a memory. Onetime killers like measles and chicken pox have been downgraded into childhood diseases capable of producing lasting immunities in their survivors. Inoculation and modern sanitation have all but eliminated smallpox. Cholera remains endemic only on the Indian subcontinent. But, McNeill concludes, "knowledge and organization alter but cannot cancel humanity's vulnerability to invasion by parasitic forms of life." Microbes have already shown that they are more flexible than man, and can move easily from animal hosts into humans. The swine flu virus seems to be making the jump today...
