...this epidemic. It has not been easy. Cholesterol is, after all, only one piece in a large puzzle that also includes obesity, high blood pressure, smoking, stress and lack of exercise. All of these play their part in heart disease "like members of an orchestra," explains Pathologist Richard Minick of the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center...
...their right to add vinyl siding and aluminum tool sheds to their property. The ruburbs, after all, are a free-fire zone, where aberrant aesthetics are one of the pleasures.

Minick (Sale) is a pigeonhole grandpa and the picture, mainly composed...
...easy play to present, but it must be a play which gives the Repertory company infinite pleasure after the banalities of Minick. What Minick lost, however, by enunciating a familiar problem in too bald and veracious a manner, the Circle loses by parading in a false and scaffolded plot a problem which has its roots in bigotry. The first act of the latter suffers immeasurably in consequence. From start to finish of the act there is talky-talk of the most stagey, witless sort, written to unfold the background of the play...
