...Knees & Yeast. What all the most promising new cinemactors have in common is acting ability. "What these new girl starlets have in common," cracked one Hollywood whip last week, "is that they all bend their legs at the knee as they walk." Few of Hollywood's young actresses seem to have the yeast it takes to rise into the big dough. That yeast, says MGM's Casting Director Billy Grady, is a compound of "beauty and bitchiness." A pinch of acting ability can help...
...Yeast. The year was full of yeasty ferment; it bubbled up with new industries, gave new leaven to old ones. The television industry, which had optimistically hoped to make 600,000 sets, proved a bad guesser; it turned out 800,000, by year's end it was working at a 2,000,000-a-year clip. In its revolutionary sweep, television scared the wits out of radio (radio set production dropped 24% under 1947) and Hollywood (which hastily decided to join rather than try to beat the enemy).

But two ounces of the stuff, supplemented with leafy vegetables and a little bread or potatoes, provide...
...hardly in its Intrinsic newness, for similar approaches had been attempted else where, but in its tremendous effect among faculties all over the country. Only the imprimatur of Harvard University can get that effect. Why at Cal there's been desultory discussion for years: the Report was like yeast in the place. Committees have been set up, they're holding meetings, something will be done...
