...rather touching desire to make the customers happy, Mr. Abbott and the authors have found a niche in their operations for the well-known strip-teaser Sherry Britton. Though Miss Briton displays an agreeably athletic navel in some belly-dancing sequences, her presence in the cast is the final proof that the proprietors of this enterprise are not austerely high-minded.

The tape brought no such conclusive evidence. Instead, it did something that was possibly more important. It offered a fascinating look behind the gleaming isolation booths and the golden M.C. grins into a back room of greed, craftiness and weird emotions...
...FOOD LAW will raise barriers against additives that color, flavor, preserve foods. Before foods can be sold in future, producers must prove to Government that additives are safe; in past, burden of proof was on U.S. to show that they were unsafe...
