Weather and politics mix with holiday quips and oddities
A jumbled satirical collage mocks a New Jersey dentist fined for a lisp, quips about barbers becoming chirotensors, and playfully twists Christmas weather and Republican nomination talk. It notes Congress convening with 50 cent bills and bits about a Ford E and a hunter misshooting at a new Ford, all as a light political humor set piece.

Broadway Cafes Add Zest to The White Way
In a Dec 15 column from New York, C O McIntyre surveys Broadway cafes near 10th Street and the theater district. He notes lively crowds of actors, agents, chorus girls, and others, with bold chatter, casual dress, cash-only service, and hearty dishes like garlic steaks and matzah ball stews. A forthcoming ultra-fashion cafe with full evening dress is teased, while hot dog stands thrive as winter turns to summer in spirit. The piece blends social color with urban appetite.
