...avoid exorbitant fees, Denholtz suggests, try a little new-fashioned comparison shopping. According to the American Dental Association's 1975 fee survey, national U.S. averages are $10 for a silver filling on one tooth surface, $13 for a simple extraction, $14 for cleaning, $92 for root-canal therapy and $251 for full upper dentures. For the financially strapped patient, Denholtz recommends Government clinics and dental schools -often inconvenient, sometimes low on quality, but easy on the wallet. At all costs, do not fall prey to what Denholtz calls cut-rate "assembly line" dental sweatshops, where one man said...
...doted on Ray as the only son of his second marriage. Discord soon developed between Ray and his three older halfbrothers, Bunker, Herbert and Lamar.* If not eccentrics in H.L.'s mold, they are at least wheeler-dealers. Bunker, in particular, has grabbed headlines with gaudy speculations in silver and soybeans. To resolve the conflict, Ray agreed in mid-1975 to split the empire in two. Bunker, Herbert and Lamar took over management of a new company, Hunt Energy Corp.; Ray retained control of the flagship operation, Hunt...

Two hours later, engines roaring, the 747 mother ship raced down the runway and rose into the air with the Enterprise clinging to its back like a mating insect. Accompanied by five silver T-38 chase planes that drifted around the pair like pilot fish escorting a shark, the odd couple climbed slowly to 8,100 meters (27,000 ft.). At that altitude the 747 flew over an imaginary hump, then nosed downward to pick up speed. At 7,230 meters (24,000 ft.), Haise...
Blacks, whites, men and women: all fall before Pryor's humor, which can sometimes be, Cohen notwithstanding, about as compassionate as a firing squad. As the Rev. James L. White, dressed in silver sequins and high-heeled silver boots, he takes on all black TV and radio preachers. The Rev. White disdains little black dollars from little black folk. Says he: "We're looking for the Billy Graham dollars." Changing into a medal-encrusted uniform, Pryor is Field Marshal Idi Amin Dada, the man of the mad, murderous giggle. "I love American people," says the field marshal...
