Drive-in
Drive-ins were invented by Richard M. Hollingshead, a car salesman. At
first, the film was projected from the hood of his car on to a
bedsheet, securely fastened to tree trunks in his back yard in Camden,
New Jersey. The sound was broadcast from a radio placed behind the
screen and, later, from speakers he mounted on trees. Hollingshead was
granted a patent in May 1933 (later invalidated by the courts) and the
first drive-opened on June 6, 1933 in Camden, New Jersey. The price of
admission was 25 cents per car and another 25 cents per person. The
sound was delivered by in-car speakers which hung on the driver's side
window.
Drive-ins today have anywhere from one to 13 screens (in Florida) and
a capacity of between 50 and 3000 cars. The soundtrack is now
delivered through the car radio.

Eating Disorders
The media would have us believe that the victims of eating disorders
are adolescents with psychological problems.
The truth is different. Both Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa are
indeed more common among adolescents.
