On a diet
What works, what doesn’t: Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig scored highest for effectiveness in a scientific review of research on commercial diet programs.

A hunk, a hunk of burning love: Priscilla Presley will soon open a marriage chapel in Las Vegas, but couples hoping The King will preside at their wedding may be dissapointed to learn that Ms. Presley will be banning Elvis impersonators from the premises.

Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1927, television was successfully demonstrated for the first time when the image and voice of Herbert Hoover was transmitted from Washington to New York.
Binge-watchers can find the broadcast on the Herbert Hoover Channel, which is Channel 1087 on the Dish network.
