Audible Grumbling. Cairo and Jerusalem are aware of the fragility of such an arrangement. Both are under pressure from their war-weary people to keep the guns silent. In the face of rising prices for meat, rice and vegetables, inadequate transportation and telephone service, and a nagging water shortage in Cairo, Egyptians are beginning to grumble audibly-and Gamal Abdel Nasser is no longer around to hush them. Few are eager to resume the war with Israel. But President Anwar Sadat, who took over last month after Nasser's death, is also aware that significant numbers of his constituents...
Another creative triumph is the commercial-within-a-commercial based on the filming of an ad for "Mama Magadini Spicy Meat Balls." All that Jack has to say is, "Mamma mia, that's-a spicy meatball!"

In 1910, five years before Vellucci was born, his parents immigrated to East Cambridge from Italy. His father worked in the Squire Meat Company's factory. "We lived in a company row house and bought at the company store," he said. Vellucci is very sensitive about the lack of formal education he has had. "I went to the Thorndike-Wellington grammar school through seventh grade, PERIOD! You got a big period there...
