GREENPORT, L.I. Summer Playhouse. Adam and Eve face newlywed adjustments, a warrior must choose between his love and a tiger, and a chimney sweep is transformed into a movie star in The Apple Tree, three episodes with music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, the team who did Fiddler on the Roof...

Since efficacy must be established beyond reasonable doubt under the 1962 law, the result of these findings will be to sweep scores of familiar products from druggists' shelves. Hundreds of others will have to be relabeled, with fewer, less provocative and appealing claims...
