...another's pets and prepared for their next show-assuming of course that they have anything left to show. (The ideal mouse, according to Mouse Club guidelines, must be "long and slim in body, with a long, clean head, neither square nor too pointed at the nose. The eyes should be large, bold and prominent; the ears large, free from creases, carried erect and set wide apart.") The strategy-quiet diplomacy, rather than noisy, ratlike demonstrations-paid off. The health department at least agreed to investigate the club's case against a proposed law that would call...
...TITLE song and "Wild Children" must be taken together. "Hard Nose the Highway" is contemporary, full of lyrical references to Morrison's stormy past, and present. The moral is simple: you win some, you lose some. Labes' piano solo owes a great deal to Floyd Cramer and the cheap upright piano style.

Miss Shelley gives an exhibition of consummate artistry...
...include "deluxe" gas caps, fake woodgrain treatments for station wagons, air conditioning and more powerful (and gas-thirsty) engines. For $300, Custom-glass, Inc., of Costa Mesa, Calif., will even convert a Ford Pinto into a "Mini Mark IV" Continental by revamping its rear end and giving it a nose bob. Why go to all that bother to doll up a compact with all the frills? Detroit's backseat psychologists have this explanation: the U.S. consumer figures that buying a small car makes sense both economically and ecologically, but he does not want his neighbors to think that...
