Their female counterparts, Hermia and Helena, emerge woefully lopsided in performance. Diana Davila's Hermia has an unpleasant voice that an occasion indulges in pure squeal- ing; and she doesn't seem to understand what she is mouthing much of the time. Dorothy Tristan's Helena shows a wider vocal range and considerable skill as a farceuse. When she pleads to Demetrius, "Give me leave...to follow you," she waddles on her knees with comic aggressiveness; and when Lysander describes himself as "touching now the point of human skill," she instinctively grasps her breasts in self-protection...
Wherever they went during their three-week tour of Europe, the Rolling Stones ignited havoc and hysteria. Now that the Beatles have retired from the road, the Stones have become the big squeal on the international pop-music circuit. They have a unique appeal. Like most British rock 'n' roll groups, they began by imitating such hard-rocking blues merchants as Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters (whose Rolling Stones Blues inspired their name); the result was a musically roughhewn sound sung in mock Negro dialect.

Together with the utilization of other wastes-such as corncobs and tobacco shreddings to produce face powder and insecticides-the agriculture-waste industry is a $5.9 billion business. The squeezings from soybean oil are used for oral contraceptives. Hiram Walker says, only half in jest, that it recovers "the hangover from whisky" -fusel oil, usually blamed for hangovers, can now be largely removed from whisky and sold to paint and perfume makers. Poultry processors, confronted with smothering stockpiles of chicken feathers that would not burn, came...
...Dragnet, Webb and Alexander trapped their suspects through clever but ever-polite cross-questioning in the squeal room. Not so on Felony Squad. "On our show the viewers will see the crime committed, so they know the guy's guilty. That way, nobody gets upset when we shoot him." Most often the TV crook will bite the dust in the usual gunfight finale, but on occasion he may die in an auto crash or fall to his death from a tower or cliff. In short, the good guys will still be beating the bad guys-at least...
