NICE PEOPLE & NICE PROBLEMS

  From AM NEW YORK, 28-30 May 2004, pg. 13, col. 4:

  "Raising Helen" puts you in mind of Louis B. Mayer's remark about wanting to make movies about nice people with nice problems.  This one nices single motherhood to death.

  I searched for "nice people" and "nice problems," but couldn't find Louis B. Mayer or much of anything.

BIG/FULL/WHOLE ENCHILADA

  Still no ProQuest Chicago Tribune and no progress on the Los Angeles Times.
  I re-checked "enchilada."  There's one Los Angeles Times 1960s hit, but it's not much.  (See ADS-L archives for a 1959 citation.)

Dick Kidson. Los Angeles Times (1886-Current File). Los Angeles, Calif.: Jun 22, 1960. p. 4 (1 page):
  If Johnny thinks he'll get the full enchilada at the Frms. Mkt., if he's good, naturally he'll be very good.

  "I think we (the Red Sox) have the best team in baseball," Harrelson continued, "and we're going for the whole enchilada--the pennant and the World Series."

The Cool and the Chutzpah
By BERNARD WEINRAUB Bruce McBroom. New York Times (1857-Current file). New York, N.Y.: Aug 23, 1970. p. D15 (1 page):
   "We're going to make films now for cassettes.  That's going to be next.  Everyone knows it.  You'll be able to put a roll of tape into your cassette and you'll see 'Lawrence of Arabia' in your living room.  The whole enchilada."

   Also from today's AM NEW YORK, 28-30 May 2004, pg. 22 cartoon:

BIZARRO by Dan Piraro
Bizarro.com (The King Features link does not work--ed.)
(Adam & Eve eat apples and look from the Garden of Eden out onto Manhattan--ed.)
ADAM:  Oh, that's the BIG Apple.  You're not ready for that yet, trust me.

   It's been two months since I wrote to Ask-a-Librarian and begged them, again after twelve years, to spend five minutes and update an outdated "Big Apple" FAQ on the NYPL Research Library's web page.  No response.
   I re-checked the Mayor's link for "Big Apple Corner."  This official link no longer works:

   I re-checked my censored "Google Answers" answer to rework it and repost it.  I can't do it; it was harmless.  I didn't say anything wrong.  It was very "professional."  I just provided the correct answer and Google Answers didn't and censored me.
   Maybe I'll spend the weekend looking exotic countries and obscure airlines that crash.
