...necessary vitamin is B-a group of at least half a dozen different chemicals. Most radio listeners, said Vice President Wallace last week, know B as the "oomph vitamin, that puts the sparkle in your eye, the spring in your step, the zip in your soul!" Vitamin B is found abundantly in whole wheat and coarse grains, is appreciably reduced in the milling process, when the rough coat is "scalped"' from wheat kernel...
...from knowledge of the unfaithfulness of his daughter-in-law. Susan Hayward looks, as well as plays, the part of the scheming minx who loves her in-law a little more than the legal requirements, thus producing a temporary hexagon rather than the standard eternal triangle. Without the zip of double-entendre dialogue or the oomph of a Lampy "wham" girl, the show is straight drama-a welcome relief from Hollywood's recent obsession with boudoir repartee...
...West Point (he flunked geometry) after one year, in 1905. He had the guts and gumption to enlist as a private, the rare ability and good fortune to scrabble his way up from the ranks.

Brazen little June Havoc, sister of Burlesqueen Gypsy Rose Lee, does a sidesplitting parody of all kinds of cafe singing and yields nothing to her sister in ability to make a rhinestone gown twitch with significance. In singing Zip, the show's funniest novelty song, a girl named Jean Casto, wearing horn-rimmed goggles and a tweedy sports ensemble, stops the show with the neatest trick of the musical-comedy year-a satire on a strip-tease in which she removes nothing more than her overcoat...
...peacefully over the countryside when a group of uninvited Messerschmitts dropped in for a dog fight. The R. A. F. flew off to fight. In the interests of neutrality, the lone American streaked for the field, was gleefully pursued by a pot-hunting Nazi. When the bullets began to zip past him, the American abandoned neutrality, flipped over his plane, got the Nazi in his sight, pressed the Spitfire's gun button, bagging one Messerschmitt fighter for the armed forces...
