milli-Helen, milliHelen, as a unit of beauty (1958 March 11)

In the tradtion of reciprocal units (mhos for transmittance compared to ohms
for resistance) I found only one actual G-hit for the millineleh, the face
which would sink a ship.  Lots of hits for Neleh, but there is apparently a
recent TV show personality by that name.
