"FAMILY SECRETS IS HYSTERICALLY FUNNY & DEEPLY MOVING"

Fact is, more Americans
may die by the fork than by
any other weapon. That's
because so many of them
use it irresponsibly. Like
to fill up on high-fat, high-
cholesterol foods. Foods
that can load the blood with
cholesterol, which can build
up plaque in their arteries,
increasing their risk of
heart attacks and threaten-
ing their lives. So next time
you pick up a fork, remem-
ber to handle it as you
would any other weapon.
For self-defense, not
self-destruction.

—Howard Kissel, Daily News

"HYSTERICALLY FUNNY! THIS IS WHAT THEATRE IS ALL ABOUT"

—Joel Siegel, ABC-TV
"WILDLY FUNNY. . ." — Dennis Cunningham, CBS-Tv'
"I LAUGHED SO HARD I CRIED."Joan Hamburg, WOR Radio NY
