...five-night engagement at the La Jolla Comedy Store (which was not affected by the strike), but he showed up late on opening night and Mitzi canceled the gig. Lubetkin said his car broke down; Mitzi was upset because he had stopped off first at the Sunset club to walk the picket line. But after his death, she angrily denied any implication that she bore some responsibility. "I was very close with Steve Lubetkin," she says. "I loved him. He was my best friend. I was in La Jolla at the Comedy Store and when I got the message...
...decades, traffic engineer Hans Monderman had a hair-raising way of showing off his handiwork to anyone who took the trouble to visit his native northern Dutch province of Friesland.

The process is excruciating, as a worm can take up to two weeks to be completely pulled out, and patients with an emerged worm are often in too much pain to walk. Being unable to walk means being unable to farm, fetch water, or perform other daily chores, meaning the disease also has a debilitating effect on the local economy...
