...long, pale taffy pull of a girl with the cringing whine of an eternal sycophant and the wily compliance of a slave. At the arbitrary whim of Sister George, Childie must kneel and kiss the hem of her master's skirt, drink her dirty bath water or chew and swallow one of her soggy cigar butts. Childie's fraud is that while she plays the lesbian, she lusts after men and cheats on Sister George...
...Chewing. This is the kind of virtuoso performance that Met regulars have come to know as the Bing style: a disarming combination of urbanity and no-nonsense determination, wit and steely single-mindedness. In opera, where people chew on each other's egos like lozenges, Bing's cool cools all. "I really enjoy dealing with difficult people," he says.

So far, illegal LSD is manufactured largely by amateurs, but potential profits represent...
...major element in his acne treatment is diet, a prescription that is not so simple as it sounds. Mothers complain that grown boys and girls keep on drinking milk, as in childhood, "because they don't like to chew meat or any food that takes time to eat-they're in too much of a rush." When Dr. Fisher advises teen-agers to cut down on foods rich in both fats and sweets-fried foods, ice cream, peanut butter, whole-milk cheeses (as distinct from cottage cheese), nuts and pastries, many of them set up an anguished wail...
