Tidbits: Dip, squeeze and pay

New from Heinz is Dip & Squeeze Ketchup: a box of 10 (27-gram) tublets of ketchup, each containing three times as much ketchup as a regular (9-gram) packet. The box calls that "3x more"; in Mr. Tidbit's book, three times as much is only two times more, but perhaps that's a quibble. In any case, it's a box containing 10 tublets totaling 9.5 ounces of ketchup.

'The First Lady of the American Screen'

Ruth Elizabeth Davis was queen of the Warner Brothers lot and changed the way Hollywood looked at actresses. As Bette Davis, she was as forceful off screen as on and created a new kind of movie heroine, one who was complicated and powerful. Called the "First Lady of the American Screen," she won her first Oscar for Warner's 1935 "Dangerous" and her second for Tuesday night's "Jezebel."
