...finally stalked off, leaving the orchestra to play her signature, Over the Rainbow, again and again in a vain attempt to get her back. The next day Judy's manager explained that she was suffering from an allergy that made it necessary for her to spray her throat continually, and she was whisked into an airplane for Sydney so fast that her feet barely touched the ground. There was time, though, to kiss one reporter on the mouth and answer another's question about whether she thought she would retire. "I think so," said Judy. "I would like...
...chowder from degenerating into an insipid broth." As all seasoned slurpers should know, New England fish chowder is full of dangerous objects-from bones to bits of shell. And when Priscilla Webster swallowed without seining at Boston's Blue Ship Tea Room, she got a bone in her throat that required hospital extraction. Miss Webster sued, won a jury verdict of $1,800.

When these French scamps taunt their enemies, "All the Valerans are ass-scratchers!" they are convincing and rambunctiously Rabelaisian...
Grandma had the best name for the disease: "threeday measles."* The usual symptoms are a mild sore throat, a light rash, and a fever of not more than 102°. In children, some swelling of the lymph glands is common but is usually not severe. Only rarely does the virus of three-day measles lead to pneumonia or brain inflammation. But it may occasionally be fatal. Last week three children's deaths associated with the current epidemic had been reported from Chicago, and a Connecticut teen-ager had died of encephalitis. Less predictable and less understood is a complication...
