...sold in the open, now come wrapped by the manufacturer. Such unlikely products as peanut butter, meat tenderizer, cocktail mixes and blue cheese spread are now dispensed from aerosol cans, and the industry is working on squeeze tubes that will give forth coffee, fish bait and ski wax. "Shrink films" of plastic that mold themselves to a product's shape now protect everything from layettes to turkeys, and other films are being developed that can wrap around liquids and eliminate the need for bottles...
...care he takes in making recordings. He never rushes into a record date; instead, he waits until he has built up a small repertoire of original tunes which are rehearsed and polished by the quintet in nightclubs and concerts until they are ready to be committed to wax.

For whereas the organized fast-draw clubs, encouraged by the firearms industry, make sure that their would-be Wyatt Earps and Marshal Dillons use only blank ammunition or wax bullets, too many young servicemen practice the game with full-load ammunition complete with lead slug. For economy's sake, they usually content themselves with a .22-caliber weapon. This can do plenty of damage, but a heavier weapon is far worse. One of Captain Duffy's patients used...
