- 1456: Cultural Write-Up on “Gone With the Wind”
- ... so interested in watching a three-hour and 30 minutes movie at such late hours, but I was determined to see this classic tale of love and war. I knew that this would be a great film to watch, having heard so many positive comments about it. The movie begins with the title in gigantic, majestic letters going across the screen.

- 1458: Bulimia nervosa
- ... risk factors for narrowly and broadly defined bulimia were similar (Kendler, 1991).
