...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.

Says the Pink Baroness: "The orange shag carpet is full of sawdust. Building planes is a good excuse for not cleaning house...
...trip from tawdry Times Square to the tidy Upper East Side of Manhattan takes only about ten minutes in light traffic. Toward 11 most nights, a driver in a blue and white van plies that route, delivering into the arms of a uniformed doorman a single pristine early City edition of tomorrow's New York Times?still warm from the presses, still faintly redolent of ink and hot lead. The newborn newspaper is quickly whisked to an upper floor, where a horrible fate awaits...
