...Hecht-Hill-Lancaster's Cry Tough, a rough and rumble film about Puerto Ricans in New York, includes a scene in a bedroom occupied by Actor John Saxon and Actress Linda Cristal. In the U.S. she appears in a slip, but the version shot for export confines her wardrobe to one small pair of black panties, and allows the camera to meander athletically where it will. 'Everybody was kind of nervous" about Cry Tough's potential box office, explained one behind-the-scenes executive, so they asked for Actress Cristal's cooperation in order...

Troy fattens up on milkshakes and slims down with as many as three workouts...
...first Hadassah nurses sent to Palestine had rough going under the Turks, who regarded them as missionaries. In World War I Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis urged Hadassah to send a full medical unit to the war-torn land. In the summer of 1918 the unit found Jerusalem's population down from 50,000 to 26,000; men, women and children half naked and only half alive, fought in the streets for scraps of garbage. Plague followed plague: malaria, typhus, influenza, cholera, dysentery, and the dread Black Death itself. Sent to Tiberias by British General Allenby, a Hadassah team...
