...submitting to such exposure, actresses earn about $100 a film, and the whole production budget wouldn't pay the cigar bill on a Darryl Zanuck picture. The average is $8,300, and it is small wonder that the leading studio in the field, Kokuei, paid stockholders a 30% dividend this year. Three of Japan's big five prestige producers-who refused to resort to eroductions-have paid no dividend...

Not that Greenameyer didn't try. Stripped of practically everything, including landing flaps, his silver Bearcat hippity-hopped all over the runway until he frantically poured on the power and took off again. Landing safely...
...conceded that "Darryl Click" did not drive a taxicab in which Oswald was a passenger. When "Darryl Click" disappeared from the case, "William Whaley" appeared as the man who drove Oswald, not home, but at least in that general direction...
