Despite this problem, the soloists who performed showcased great talent and vocal versatility. They gave a plethora of notable performances during the course of the0 night. Valerie Anderson served up a forceful, albeit politically incorrect, rendition of "Peel Me a Grape"--she was not honoring any boycotts--and her two other solos of the night were equally impressive. Katie Guillory's solos in "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" and "Don't Tell Mama" deserved highest praise, and Clancy Drake's smoother than smooth performance in "Scotch 'n' Soda" provided a delightful encore...
...good-hearted that she tests a new vaccine on herself rather than give it to lab monkeys. The other (Teri Garr), who is scheming to take over her mother's cosmetics empire, smears an experimental cream on her secretary's face to see if it makes the skin peel off. Among the other characters: a husband of one sister, who has just been thawed out after four years frozen in the ice on Mount Everest, and a blind man who totals a laboratory with his cane in the most gratingly ill-conceived bit of TV slapstick of the year.

GRAPEFRUIT. Researchers think pectin, the gelling agent found in the peel and white membrane that surround citrus pulp, could also lower cholesterol levels.

The amount of citrus probably needed to produce any results is dauntingly high: the equivalent of two or three grapefruit...
...steel but are just as strong. The plastics conserve gas by making a vehicle lighter, and manufacturing them requires 10% to 20% less energy than fabricating metal parts. Admittedly, there can be problems. General Motors found that the polymer body panels of some of its minivans started to peel like old wallpaper. Moisture had seeped between the sheets of plastic and caused the panels to come unglued...
...tabloid dubbed the scandal the GRAND OLE SOAP OPRY, as Nashvillians cringed in embarrassment. After Boner's divorce from Betty and marriage to Peel, the city's mortification peaked when the Boners appeared on Phil Donahue's TV show to discuss, among other matters, the mayor's alleged sexual prowess. Boner also played harmonica while a rambunctious Peel sang Rocky Top. Donahue rightly charged that Boner's conduct came "very close to giving the finger" to Nashville. And Nashville seemed ready by last week to reciprocate. Unfortunately, Boner's constituents have found that the city charter fails to provide...
