...choose such a partisan nutritionist as Dr. Winick to cover the International Health Fair [Oct. 23]. Though he renders a service in exposing the faddism and snake-oil huckstering in the movement, he overlooks what will be its lasting effect: turning Americans away from the plastic "long shelf life" foods of the supermarkets back to the plain, flavorsome-and more healthful-foods of the real world...
...known brothels than they were in pressing economic and social issues. One recent-and typical -street brawl between anti-Allende demonstrators and police came to an abrupt halt when an abundantly curved girl walked by.

It is eerie to watch and listen to Miss Ross, the princess of plastic soul, work her way through such songs as Strange Fruit and God Bless the Child. She has the phrasing, and the Holiday intonation. What she doesn't have is the passion. Her Billie Holiday is like one of those Audio-Animatronic robots at Disneyland-a perfect facsimile of life until...
