...Gene backed up to the curb and began to arrange the vegetables and fruit on packing boxes, along the running board, and on the tailboard.

CBS has imposed just two restrictions: no emphasis on brandy, rum or cooking wine, and no live food. Mrs. Lucas regards both taboos as utter nonsense: "Why, when we had lobster thermidor, I had to kill the lobsters before the program, and that's most unhealthy, you know." Next week, in the new last-word television studios CBS is opening in Manhattan, Mrs. Lucas will move into a last-word, specially built kitchen...
